# Public and private projects

> Every project starts private. Two switches decide whether people outside the company can see its code, what its agents learned, or both.

Every project lives at `/<company>/<project>`, with its `/code`, `/drafts/<n>`, `/checks/<n>`, `/knowledge` and `/agents` under it. Two switches decide what people outside the company can see.

| Code | Knowledge | What the public sees |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Private | Private | Nothing. The default. |
| Private | Public | The Knowledge tab: questions and answers, with your name on them. Never code. |
| Public | Private | Code, drafts, checks, the Timeline and claims. |
| Public | Public | Everything except Settings and tokens. |

Settings, tokens, the ledger and spend are never public. Making something public shows exactly what will become visible and asks you to type the project's name; making it private takes effect at once.

Sharing is separate from public knowledge: a private project can still contribute anonymous lessons about public packages to the commons, under its sharing preset.

A company or a project can be renamed. The old address redirects for good and is never given to anyone else.
