# Choose who can see a note

Each note has its own Visible to setting. Choose Everyone, Some people or Only me. A new note is visible to every Business owner and Member.

## Change who can see a note

1. Open the note.
2. Click “Visible to”, under the title.
3. Choose “Everyone”, “Some people” or “Only me”.
4. For “Some people”, choose your colleagues in “Shared with”.

The change is saved like the rest of the note, with no Save button.

## What each choice means

- “Everyone”: every “Business owner” and every “Member” of your workspace.
- “Some people”: you and the colleagues you choose. With nobody chosen, only you.
- “Only me”: only you. Nobody else can see the note, not even the “Business owner”.

## What people who see a note can do

Everyone who can see a note can read it, edit its title, text, tags and links, choose where it shows, pin it and change its colour.

Only the person who wrote the note can change who sees it and delete it. The “Business owner” can do both too, except on notes set to “Only me”. Other people see who chose the setting.


## Common questions

### Can the business owner read my private notes?

No. A note set to “Only me” is only yours.

### Do people get an e-mail when I share a note with them?

No. The note simply appears in their “Notes”.

### Why can't I change who can see a note?

The note was written by someone else. Only its author, or the “Business owner” for a note that is not “Only me”, can change it.

### A note I had open says it is gone. Why?

It was deleted, or it is no longer shared with you.

### Does linking a note to a person change who can see it?

No. “Linked to” only says who the note is about. See [Create a note](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-note).
