Public = anyone with the link. Private = only you in your dashboard. PIN = link is public but content requires a short code.
Public links
Best for blog posts, specs, and anything you want to share openly. May appear in Explore when moderation-eligible. Expire based on tier unless you choose a longer window (Pro+).
Private documents
Best for drafts, personal notes, and work-in-progress. Stored in /my-docs/ with no public URL. Starter includes three permanent private slots.
PIN links
Best when you want a single URL but need a lightweight access gate — e.g. sharing with a client who should not need a Gryz account. The PIN is not a substitute for encrypting sensitive data.
Anonymous publishing
Without an account, you can only publish public documents. They expire in 24 hours and cannot be edited later unless you create an account and claim them during the publisher-token window.
