# Message Privacy Settings

Threadly’s per-message privacy settings give you control over who can see engagement data — click counts, form responses, and acknowledgements — for each individual message. These settings only affect Threadly’s analytics views, not the Slack message itself.

***

## Available Settings

### Hide from Team Analytics

When enabled, this message will **not appear in the shared Logs view** accessible to all team members. Only the sender and workspace admins can see the message in analytics.

**When to use:**

* Sending a message to a sensitive audience (e.g., HR or executive announcements)
* Testing a workflow before rolling it out broadly
* Messages with engagement data you prefer not to share team-wide

### Restrict Who Can View Details

When enabled, you define an **approved-viewers list** — a specific set of team members who can view detailed engagement data for this message. Anyone not on the list will see the message in Logs but won’t be able to drill into individual user-level data.

**When to use:**

* Limiting access to form responses that contain personal or sensitive information
* Restricting click analytics to relevant team leads only
* Complying with internal data access policies

***

## How to Configure

Both settings are available in the message composer:

1. While composing a message, look for the **Privacy** section (or the lock icon in the toolbar).
2. Toggle **Hide from team analytics** to prevent the message from appearing in shared Logs.
3. Toggle **Restrict viewers** and select the specific team members who should have access.
4. Complete your message and send.

Privacy settings apply only to the message being composed. Each message can have different privacy settings.
