Publish a doc: private, cohort or public

Open the publish dialog

In the doc editor top-right, click the audience pill (it shows the current state — 🔒 Private / Draft by default). The publish dialog opens with six options.

The six audiences

• 🔒 Private — only you.
• 🛡 Admins + instructors — for SOPs, runbooks, internal docs.
• 🏢 Everyone in workspace — workspace-wide announcements, staff handbooks.
• 👥 Community — pick one cohort; only its members can see this doc.
• 🎓 Course — pick one course; everyone enrolled (current and future) can see this doc.
• 🌐 Public on the web — anyone with the URL, indexed by search engines.

Draft vs Published

Every doc has a status orthogonal to audience. Audience says WHO can see it; status says WHETHER it's visible at all. A doc published to 'Course' but left as Draft stays invisible to the cohort until you flip status to Published.

Public docs — slug & SEO

• Pick a slug — lowercase, hyphens. We validate against the reserved-slugs list so you don't collide with platform routes.
• Set SEO title, description and OG image — these override the doc's title for search engines and link previews.
• Toggle 'noindex' if you want the page reachable by URL but hidden from Google.
• The page lives at /p/<your-tenant>/k/<your-slug> on your portal — same chrome as the rest of your site. The hub index at /p/<your-tenant>/k lists every published-public doc.

Who gets notified

When a doc goes public for the first time, every admin and instructor in the workspace (except the author) gets a notification. Cohort and course audience changes don't fan out — they're picked up next time a student loads the docs sidebar.
