### 👉 Link expiration

Setting a link expiration date turns off access after a certain period of time (For example, after a conference ends).

### 👉 Domain-restricted access with authentication

You can control who views your demo by allowing or blocking specific domains, and requiring viewers to enter a 4-digit code sent directly to their email before they can access it. This ensures that only verified people can view your demo content.

**How to use it:**

* Enable **'Require Email',** and set **Allowed or Blocked Domains:** Specify the email domains you want to allow or block. This ensures only your target audience gets access to your demo.
* Toggle on **'Require Authentication':** In the share modal, go to **'Secure Link'** and turn on the **'Require Authentication'** toggle.
* Once enabled, viewers will be prompted to enter a 4-digit code sent to their email before accessing your demo.

Here's how it works

### 👉 Private demo access

Storylane offers private demo links for enhanced content security and access control. This feature allows you to restrict access to your demos so that only authenticated Storylane users can view them.

Available in Enterprise plan
{% endhint %}

#### Viewer access management

* You can have dedicated "Viewer" users who can only access private demos
* Viewers cannot access the dashboard or any content creation features
* This allows you to share content with clients or stakeholders without providing full account access
* Single Sign-On (SSO) is fully supported for all users, including Viewers

#### Use cases for private links

* **Internal training materials**: Ensure only your team members can access training content
* **Confidential product demos**: Share pre-release features securely with select clients
* **Sensitive information**: Maintain control over who can view demos containing proprietary data

### 👉 Unpublish a demo

To unpublish a demo, open the Storylane editor, select the "Publish" drop down, and select "Unpublish".
