Profile and privacy

commonplot decides visibility per kind of content; there is no single switch. This page explains who sees what and how to manage your account.

Who can see whatCopy Anchor Link

Note that every link you save shows on your profile, even if it is only in a private notebook. To keep material private, add it as an uploaded file.

Making a notebook public shares only its name, description, resource list, and the documents you have shared. Private documents and AI chats stay private.

Your profileCopy Anchor Link

Your profile lives at commonplot.co/{username}. It shows your avatar, name, bio, and join date, plus two tabs:

• Saved resources: the public content you've saved (you also see your own uploaded files)
• Notebooks: your public notebooks (you also see your private ones)

Change your name, username, and bio in Settings → Profile or with Edit profile on your profile. Your username becomes your public URL. Once you publish a document it can no longer change, so links you've shared keep working.

Account and sign-inCopy Anchor Link

In Settings → Account you can:

• See your sign-in methods (Google, email verification code)
• Manage Connected apps, such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Hermes
• Delete your account

Appearance and languageCopy Anchor Link

Settings → Appearance sets the theme (System, Light, Dark) and interface language (EN, 中文). These settings apply only to the current device.

Delete your accountCopy Anchor Link

Choose Delete account in Settings → Account, type the confirmation word, and finish in the email commonplot sends you. Confirming signs you out on every device, disconnects connected apps, and cancels your subscription. Thirty days later, your saved resources, notebooks, documents, chats, and uploaded files are permanently deleted. To keep your account, sign in again before then; after that, deletion cannot be undone.
