How to Password-Protect Your Publication

Sometimes you may not want your publication to be publicly accessible. When you share a link, it can be forwarded to others, which means you lose control over who can view your content.

This is especially important for internal documents, client materials, drafts, or any content that should be accessible only to a limited audience.

With FlowPaper, you can protect your publication with a password and ensure that only authorized users can open it.
