Public Page
Your public page is a published portfolio at thelibrary.fm/pages/your-name. Unlike a token-gated share link, it showcases selected work to visitors without requiring an account. It is public only while published; an unpublished page returns 404 unless its owner opens an authorized preview.
Set up the page
Section titled “Set up the page”Open Settings → Public Page. Your page-specific settings control the display name, banner image, accent colour, bucket sections, and featured collaborators. Profile name, bio, avatar, social links, and contact settings come from their own profile/settings surfaces.
Your display name becomes the page URL. It must be unique, 3–50 characters long, and contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Use Check Availability before publishing.
Add selected content
Section titled “Add selected content”Choose owned buckets in the page selector. The sellable-first selection excludes archived buckets, system buckets, and buckets without sellable tracks. You can sort candidates by sellable track count or name without losing checked state.
The saved section array determines section order and the renderer applies the total 10-track cap across that order. Each section can use Grid or Cards; cards can be small, medium, or large. You can also save a list of collaborators you own and mark entries as featured. The renderer shows the chosen collaborator data and avatar fallback.
Preview and publish
Section titled “Preview and publish”Use owner preview to review the saved page data and resulting visible-track cap. For an unpublished page, preview opens a signed, time-limited, render-only draft in a new tab. It shows the profile/page data and sections, but visitor playback, checkout, contact, and other actions are disabled.
Publishing requires a connected Dropbox account, a display name, and a profile name. When those requirements are met, choose Publish Page. You can edit page and profile settings after publishing, review the result in owner preview, or unpublish to remove public access while retaining the page configuration and original published date.
What visitors can use
Section titled “What visitors can use”Visitors browse the capped visible set in its configured grid or card layout. A visible track can show artwork or its generated fallback, title, duration, and an audio-preview entry point. Visitor audio requires a published page, a track in the capped visible set, a bounce, and a valid Dropbox connection.
When Show the public contact form is enabled and the selected Artist has a valid public contact email, visitors can send a name, email, optional subject, and message. The page uses a security check and rate limits to reduce abuse. It shows when the message is sending and confirms successful delivery. If delivery fails, the page keeps the entered message and lets the visitor complete a new security check before a retry.
The Library resolves the selected Artist and delivers the message on the server. It does not put the Artist contact email in the public page or the contact API response. Signed previews keep the form disabled and cannot deliver messages.
