Your MYZO profile starts in private mode. This guide explains how to make your profile public, what happens when you do, and when to use private mode.

How to Make Your Profile Public

Follow these steps to make your profile visible to visitors:

Go to your Dashboard
Find the About Me section
Look for the Make profile public toggle switch
Turn it ON to make your profile visible

The change takes effect immediately. Your profile is now accessible to anyone with your profile URL.

What Happens When Your Profile is Public

When your profile is set to public, the following things occur:

Anyone can view it: People with your profile URL can see all your public information
QR code works: Scanning your QR code takes visitors to your profile
Links are active: Visitors can click your contact, social, and custom links
Analytics track visits: Profile views and link clicks are recorded
Search visibility: Your profile may appear in search results if indexed

This is the normal state for most users who want to share their digital business card.

What Happens When Your Profile is Private

When your profile is set to private, the following things occur:

Visitors see an error: People visiting your URL see a "Profile not found" message
QR code does not work: Scanning your QR code shows an error message
No public access: Only you can see your profile when logged in
Analytics pause: No new visits are recorded since no one can access your profile
Data is preserved: All your information remains saved and secure

Private mode completely hides your profile from public view.

When to Use Private Mode

Private mode is useful in several situations:

During Initial Setup

Keep your profile private while you:

Add your basic information
Upload your profile photo
Add links and contact details
Choose and customize your template

Once everything looks good, switch to public.

During Major Updates

Use private mode when:

Completely redesigning your profile
Updating many links at once
Making significant changes to your information
Fixing issues with your content

Taking a Break

Private mode helps when:

You need a break from public visibility
You are between jobs and updating your profile
You want to temporarily hide your online presence

Testing Changes

Private mode allows you to:

Test new content before publishing
Review how changes look
Get feedback from trusted people (share while logged in)

Switching Between Public and Private

You can switch between public and private mode at any time:

Go to the About Me section in your dashboard
Toggle the Make profile public switch
Changes take effect immediately

There is no limit to how often you can switch.

Data Safety in Private Mode

Your data is completely safe in private mode:

Nothing is deleted: All your information stays saved
Toggle freely: Switch back to public anytime
Full restoration: Everything appears exactly as you left it
No data loss: Links, widgets, stickers, and settings remain intact

Think of private mode as hiding your profile, not deleting it.

Viewing Your Own Private Profile

Even when your profile is private, you can still view it:

Make sure you are logged in to your MYZO account
Click View Public Profile in the sidebar
You will see your full profile as it would appear to visitors

This helps you review your profile before making it public.

Best Practices for Going Public

Before making your profile public, check that:

Your display name is correct
Your bio is complete and professional
All links work correctly
Contact information is accurate
Your template looks good
You have previewed on both desktop and mobile
