Hide a request from the board

A request can be hidden while it belongs to a public board. Use this for account-specific feedback or details that should stay between the author and your team.

Hide the request

  1. Open the request in your workspace dashboard.
  2. Find the On board pill below the description.
  3. Choose Hidden from board. The change applies immediately.

Only workspace admins and owners can change this setting. The request keeps its current workflow status, so your team can continue reviewing, planning, or working on it.

Who can see a hidden request

Workspace admins and owners can see the request. Its author can also return to it when UserJot can identify them through their account or guest session. Other users cannot open it or find it on the public board or roadmap.

Sharing a link does not give someone access to a hidden request. Comments follow the request's access rules, and approving a comment does not make the discussion public.

Show it on the board again

Choose Shown on board from the same pill. For the request to appear publicly, it must also belong to a public board and have completed any required moderation review.

On a private board this setting only appears if the request was hidden earlier, because only the author and your team can see those requests anyway. Choosing Shown on board clears it, and the private board still limits who can see the request. See private boards if you want the same visibility rules for every request on a board.

Keep a request hidden during moderation

If a request is waiting for manual review or contains sensitive information, the review panel offers Keep hidden and

Publish on public boards, and Approve on private boards. Keep hidden finishes the review and hides the request in one step.

Changing the pill by itself does not resolve a review. For possible spam or abuse, Keep clears those findings and preserves the visibility you have chosen. Other review reasons may still need attention.

Read moderate content for the full review flow.

Content that was already shared

Hiding a request cannot take back copies people have already seen, downloaded, or received by email. Previously shared direct attachment links may still work. Remove sensitive details before publishing whenever possible.
