# Are my Overleaf projects private?

Yes, every project you create is automatically private. Other Overleaf users can't see your projects in Overleaf unless you deliberately share them with others via the Share menu.

When [link sharing](/latex/knowledge-base/130-sharing-a-project.md) is enabled, Overleaf creates a unique token used only for the link to that project. It is almost impossible to guess the token, and hence the link to your project is known only to you.

If you turn link sharing on, please note that if you publish the link to your project on a website or somewhere public, anybody can use the link and the website where your link is posted might even be included in search engine results.

For more information, please see the Privacy Policy tab on our [Terms of Service](https://www.overleaf.com/legal) page.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/knowledge-base/004-are-my-overleaf-projects-private.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
