Use this workflow when LinkAce should act as a private bookmark archive first, with sharing disabled or tightly limited.
Steps
- Open User Settings.
- Set default visibility for links, lists, tags, and notes to Private.
- Open System Settings and keep guest access disabled.
- Review existing links, lists, tags, and notes and change anything public or internal to private if needed.
- Configure cron if you want imports, link checks, and Wayback Machine backups.
- Configure application backups for recovery.
Private Notes and Organization
Notes have their own visibility. A private note remains private even if the link is public or internal.
Lists and tags also have their own visibility. For a private archive, keep lists and tags private unless you intentionally want other logged-in users to see them.
Wayback Machine Caveat
By default, LinkAce does not send private links to the Wayback Machine. There is a user setting to allow Wayback Machine backups for private links.
Only enable that setting if you understand that the URL may be sent to an external service.
