Pack Privacy and Sharing
By default, packs you create in Knoword are public. That means they’ll show up in search results, category listings, and your public profile (if enabled). But sometimes, you may want to keep a pack private, or share it with with specific people only.
This guide explains how pack privacy works, how to control who sees your pack, and how to share your content when you’re ready.

Controlling pack visibility
When creating a pack, you’ll see the option to set your pack’s visibility. There are three levels to choose from:
- Public: Anyone can access your pack and it will appear in search results.
- Unlisted: Anyone with a direct link to your pack can access it, but it won’t appear in search results.
- Private: Only you can access your pack when you’re logged in to your Knoword account. It also won’t show up in search results.
If you’ve already created a pack, you can update this setting at any time:
- Go to the My Packs page.
- Select the “Edit” action from the pack’s action menu (three dots).
- Click the “Edit details” button near the top right corner of the page.
- Select a different visibility tier.

Sharing an unlisted pack
Even if a pack is hidden from public listings, it’s still fully playable by anyone with the link. That means you can share it directly with students, peers, or collaborators without making it public.
To get a shareable link:
- Visit your My Packs page.
- Open the pack actions menu (three dots on the pack card).
- Click “Copy link”.
- Paste the link wherever you want—an email, class portal, chat app, etc.
Using your public profile
If you want to share all your packs, collections, and bookmarks in one place, you can enable your public profile in your account settings.
Before enabling your profile, you’ll need to set a unique username. Once enabled, you’ll have a public page at a custom URL that shows:
- Packs that you’ve created
- Any collections you’ve published
- Your bookmarked packs
It’s an easy way to showcase your Knoword content, especially if you’re sharing with students or fellow educators.
📌 Keep in mind: Only packs that are visible in public listings will appear on your public profile.
