⚠ Caveats when converting public projects to private

Payment

You will only be able to convert a public project to private if you have a payment method added to your account. To add one, please navigate to the Workspaces tab in your Dashboard > choose the workspace for which you'd like to update the payment method > click on Add Card to add your payment information.

If you are on an Annual billing plan, you may also need to go to your billing settings to raise your private project limit. Find out how to do this in this guide.

Can't pay with credit card? Kumu only offers invoicing for annual plans. If you'd like to switch to annual invoicing, please contact [email protected].

Privacy of embed links & presentations

Note that converting a public project to private does not update the privacy of any embed links or presentations that you created when the project was public. Here's how to update their privacy:

• If you wish to make your embed links private, please delete the existing URL and create a new embed with password-protection, or consider adding members to the project directly.

• If you wish to make your presentation private, please navigate to the Presentations menu and click "Unpublish the presentation". Once the presentation is unpublished, you can click "Publish" again and choose to keep the presentation private. This will generate a new URL with a randomized token.

Changing the privacy settings of an embed link or presentation will generate a new URL. If you've already shared the original link, be sure to provide your audience with the updated URL to ensure continued access
