# Publish

Publishing an app controls its visibility to other users on the Spice.ai platform.

## App Visibility

Apps can be set to one of two visibility levels:

* **Private** (default): Only organization members can view and access the app.
* **Public**: The app is visible to all Spice.ai users. Public apps can be discovered, queried, and used as data sources by others via the `spice connect` or `spice add` commands.

## Changing Visibility

1. Select your app.
2. Navigate to **Settings** and scroll to the **App visibility** section.
3. Toggle between **Private** and **Public**.

Making an app public exposes its datasets and models to all Spice.ai users. Ensure no sensitive data is accessible before publishing.
