Session Visibility — Public & Private
How session visibility works in Qolaba's Image Generation — the difference between Private and Public sessions, when to use each, and how to toggle between them.
Before generating, set your session visibility to control who can see your generated images. Every generation in Qolaba is tied to a session visibility setting — Private or Public — which determines whether your outputs remain confidential or are shared to the Qolaba community gallery.
How Session Visibility Works
Session visibility is a per-session toggle set before you generate. It applies to all images generated within that session — not per individual image after generation. Set it before you start generating to ensure your outputs go to the right place.
Who can see it
Only you
All Qolaba users via the community gallery
Accessible via
Your History only
Community gallery + your History
Ideal for
Client work, brand assets, proprietary content
Creative exploration, community sharing
Discoverable by others
No
Yes
Private Session
In a Private session, all generated images are confidential. They are only accessible through your own Dashboard → History and are never visible to other users — not in the community gallery, not in shared workspaces, and not via any public link unless you explicitly share one.
Use Private sessions for:
Client projects and commissioned work
Proprietary brand asset generation
Internal creative briefs and concept development
Any content that should not be visible outside your organization
Public Session
In a Public session, generated images are shared to the Qolaba community gallery where all users can discover and view them. Your outputs contribute to the community, and you can explore what others are generating for creative reference and inspiration.
Use Public sessions for:
Creative exploration and style experimentation
Sharing work to the community for feedback or visibility
Portfolio-style content you are comfortable making discoverable
Prompts and styles you want to contribute to the community
Once an image is generated in a Public session, it becomes visible one the Community Wall. If you need to change the visibility of a specific image after generation, you can update it from Dashboard → History using the visibility toggle on that image. See Managing Generated Images → for details.
How to Toggle Session Visibility
Open the Image Generation workspace
Locate the Private / Public session toggle in the input controls area
Toggle to your desired setting before generating
All images generated in that session will follow the selected visibility
Make it a habit to check the session toggle before starting any new generation — especially when switching between personal creative work and client projects.
Visibility vs. Sharing
Session visibility and sharing are two separate controls:
Session visibility determines whether images appear in the community gallery automatically at the time of generation
Sharing allows you to generate a shareable link for a specific image regardless of session visibility — a Private session image can still be shared via a direct link with specific people
