Earlier this year, we shipped several changes allowing customers to manage archive visibility based on subscription status.
While we were very happy to accommodate a growing body of different use cases, numerous ad hoc tweaks led us to find just as many edge-case bugs and inconsistencies.
So we decided to go back to first principles to design the hierarchy of settings:
1. Archive settings are the default for all new posts
Your archive settings are the default for all new posts in your archive.
2. Per-email visibility overrides the default
Archived visibility settings on each email allow you to override the default archive settings.
You can manage archive visibility in the Publish modal of each email (or Details, if the email has already been sent).
You can also edit visibility in bulk from the emails page by selecting emails and then choosing the "change visibility" option.
We also added a column called Archive visibility that you can add to the emails page, so you can quickly skim through web visibility for your existing emails.
3. Subscription walls and paywalls
For even finer tuning of content visibility, you can block parts of content within a post with paywalls (visible to paid subscribers only) or a subscription wall (visible to subscribers only) through Fancy mode in our editor — type / and pick the function you want.
