Granular visibility, zero configuration
Every task, label, comment, and timeline entry in Sayr carries its own visibility setting. Share progress with users without ever worrying about leaking internal context.
Visibility at every level
Most tools treat privacy as an all-or-nothing setting — either your board is public or it isn’t. Sayr works differently. Visibility is a property of each individual entity:
- Tasks — public or private
- Labels — public or private (a private label like “Sprint 16” won’t appear on the public portal)
- Comments — public (visible to everyone) or internal (visible only to org members)
- Timeline entries — status changes and activity can be public or stay internal
This means a single task can have public content visible on the portal alongside internal comments and private labels that your users never see.
How it works in practice
A task titled “Fix payment processing bug” might be set to public so users can track it. The comments from your engineering team about root cause analysis are marked internal. The label “Critical — P0” is set private. Users see the task and its public updates; your team sees everything.
Defaults and bulk updates
New tasks are private by default. This means you can’t accidentally publish something you’re not ready to share — you always opt-in to visibility.
When you’re ready to go public with a batch of work, bulk visibility updates let you flip multiple tasks to public at once from the task list view.
Real-time enforcement
Visibility changes take effect immediately. If you set a task to private while a user is viewing it on the public portal, it disappears from their session in real time. There’s no cache delay, no stale content.
How it works
Create tasks privately
By default, every new task is private. Your team can work on it, discuss it internally, and iterate before anyone outside sees it.
Set visibility per entity
When you're ready, toggle a task to public. Do the same for the labels and comments you want to expose. Everything else stays hidden.
Users see a curated view
The public portal automatically shows only public tasks with public labels and public comments. Internal content is stripped from the response server-side — it's never sent to the browser.
