+By default, preview deployments are publicly accessible to anyone with the URL. There are two ways to restrict access:
+
+- **Password protection** — Set a password on individual manual previews so anyone with the password can view the preview. Useful for sharing with external reviewers who don't have a Mintlify account.
+- **Preview authentication** — Require all preview viewers to sign in as members of your Mintlify organization. Applies to all preview deployments.
+
+### Password-protect a preview
+
+When [creating a manual preview](#manual-previews), enable **Make private** and set a password. Viewers must enter the password before they can access the preview URL.
+
+Password-protected previews are available on Pro and Enterprise plans. This option is not available when your site already has [authentication](/deploy/authentication-setup) enabled.

+### Require organization sign-in
