# Privacy controls are now on every plan

> Set any note or collection to Only specific people or Just me, on Starter, Individual, and Team.

**Shipped 2026-07-26 · Workspaces and permissions**

Per-entity privacy is no longer a Team-only feature. On every plan
(**Starter**, **Individual**, and **Team**) you can open **Manage access** on
any note, protocol, attachment or collection and change who can see it.

## What changed

All three privacy modes are available on every plan:

* **Workspace**: everyone in the workspace can see it. Still the default.
* **Only specific people**: visible to the people you name, plus the
  workspace Owner.
* **Just me**: visible only to you. No Owner override.

## Why

Deciding who can see a note is a safety property, not a premium feature. A
researcher working alone on a Starter plan handling sensitive material needs it
as much as a lab of twenty does, and gating it taught people that Bower's
default is "everyone in the workspace sees everything, and you can't change
that".

## What hasn't changed

* **Workspace roles** (Owner / Admin / Member / Viewer) remain a Team feature.
* **Restricted mode** and Bower's HIPAA/BAA posture remain a Team feature.
* Workspace admins can still switch **Just me** off for their whole workspace
  where policy requires everything to be auditable by an Owner.
* Anything you had already marked private stays exactly as it was.
