Share a Profile
Publish a workspace-owned profile for community discovery and understand subscriber behavior.
Turn on Share with Community to make a workspace-owned profile discoverable to other Y2 users. Subscribers follow the same profile; sharing does not create a separate copy for each workspace.
Review visibility before creating a profile
The current new-profile editor starts with Share with Community enabled. Turn it off in Advanced Configuration before selecting Create Feed when the profile should remain private.
How sharing works
The owning workspace controls the profile topic, research configuration, cadence, status, and community visibility. Subscriber workspaces control their own subscription and supported delivery preferences.
Changes to the shared profile affect later reports for every active subscriber because subscribers reference the same profile.
Before sharing
Confirm that the profile:
- Has a clear name and a topic that another reader can understand without private context.
- Uses report sections and instructions appropriate for a broader audience.
- Does not contain secrets, customer data, private names, or confidential domain restrictions.
- Has produced a report you reviewed for scope, source quality, and usefulness.
- Uses a cadence the owning workspace intends to maintain.
Shared configuration is discoverable
Treat the profile name, topic, tags, custom instructions, and research configuration as public metadata when community sharing is enabled. Do not use a shared profile as a secret store.
Share an existing profile
Open the profile editor
Open My Profiles, select a profile owned by the active workspace, and choose its edit action.
Review the public-facing configuration
Check the name, topic, tags, section titles, and custom instructions. Remove internal-only details before changing visibility.
Enable community sharing
Open Advanced Configuration and turn on Share with Community.
Save and verify
Select Update Feed, then open Community. Search for the profile name and confirm that it appears with the expected Global or Community classification.
What subscribers can do
Subscribers can:
- Discover and open global or community profiles.
- Add a profile to the active workspace when capacity remains.
- Remove their own subscription without changing the shared profile.
- Configure a supported delivery method for their subscription.
They cannot edit or delete the owning workspace's profile.
Subscription limits belong to the active workspace: Free supports one external community or global subscription, Lite supports three, and Pro or Elite count subscriptions and owned profiles against their total profile capacity. See Plans and limits.
Stop sharing
Edit the shared profile
Open the profile from My Profiles and move to Advanced Configuration.
Disable community sharing
Turn off Share with Community, then select Update Feed.
Confirm discovery is disabled
Search for the profile in Community. It should no longer be available for a new subscription.
Existing subscriptions are retained
Disabling community sharing removes the profile from public discovery, but it does not automatically delete subscription records that already exist. Deleting the profile removes its subscriptions and associated generated resources; treat deletion as a separate destructive action.
Maintain a useful shared profile
Keep the topic stable
Make focused refinements. Replacing the subject entirely can surprise existing subscribers.
Use recognizable tags
Add concise domain, geography, industry, and cadence tags that improve discovery.
Review generated reports
Check whether sources and conclusions still match the published scope before expanding it.
Communicate breaking changes
Y2 does not currently promise an automatic subscriber notification for profile edits. Avoid silent changes that materially alter the briefing.
