Visibility
Remark.ing is a follow-first model, there isn't (yet) a "public" feed to see what everyone is posting.
Visibility settings are read from the remarking.view field of documents and entries/remarks. To denote that a document should be visible, set remarking.view to "*":
remarking:
view: "*"
author:
name: Bob
// ... rest of header ...
2025-08-09: hello!
Same thing with remarks: set remarking.view to "*":
2025-08-09:
remarking:
view: "*"
If you intend for a document's remarks to be generally visible, set remarking.view in the document header. You do not need to set remarking.view on every entry if the visibility is already set on the document as a whole. Documents created via Remark.ing default to public visibility.
Precedence
In the case of conflicting visibility rules, individual entries' rules take precedence over the document's rules. For example, in the following document,
---
remarking:
view: "*"
---
2025-08-03: this is private
remarking:
view: none
the entry this is private will not be visible to others as its remarking.view rule overrides the document's rule.
Likewise, if we switch the document's and the entry's rules:
---
remarking:
view: none
---
2025-08-03: this is public
remarking:
view: "*"
The remark is now visible, overriding the document header.
Drafts
Denote that an entry is a draft (and therefore not publicly visible) by setting remarking.draft to true on the entry:
2026-03-12: Thoughts on the most recent things to happen
remarking:
draft: true
I have a lot of thoughts on the most recent things but I'm not ready to share them yet
2026-03-06: Life update
This post is visible, and that's a normal thing to say about a post
If using the Remark.ing UI, this property setting is handled for you when you click the "save" button.
Drafts will not show up in anyone's feed but will show up as drafts beneath the compose area when drafting a new remark.
Note
Meridiem view permissions, which are about viewing and editing in Meridiem specifically, are separate from view permissions set for remarking.
