# Go live with the "Only People I Choose" privacy option

After creating your publication it's time to go live and distribute it! The question is who you want to share it with. There are several [privacy options](https://help.joomag.com/knowledge/manage-privacy-settings-of-the-publication?hsLang=en) on Joomag that you set up yourself.

The option **Only people I choose** provides access to the publication only to the people with explicitly granted permission. If you are a publisher and you choose this option, you'll have to input emails of people to whom you want to send the publication. Then, as a publisher, you can see the number and the emails of people who have access to your publication.

If you want to share your publication with the option **Only people I choose,** use the following guideline:

**Note:** You are supposed to be [logged in to Joomag](https://intercom.help/joomag/en/articles/5626300-log-in-to-joomag) and be on the Joomag dashboard page.
