Publishing Songs to the Public Discovery Feed

When you generate a worship track, it starts as private. You can publish it to the public discovery feed so anyone using DailyWorship can find it, play it, and add it to their library.

Publishing checklist#

Before you publish, take a moment to check:

• The title is clear and reflects the song
• The description gives potential listeners context (scripture references, the occasion, your tradition)
• The lyrics read well in the track detail view
• You're comfortable with the song being public — it can be found by anyone

How to publish#

1. Open the track from your library.
2. Click Share or Visibility.
3. Set visibility to Public.
4. Click Save.

The track is now in the discovery feed. It usually appears within a few minutes.

What "public" means#

Public tracks are:

• Visible in the global discovery feed (filterable by style, mood, theme)
• Searchable from any user's library search box
• Playable and addable to other users' personal libraries
• Indexable by search engines (so they may appear in Google results)
• Credited to your profile as the original creator

Public tracks are not:

• Editable by others — only you can change the title, lyrics, or visibility
• Downloadable as stems by others — stem access stays with the owner
• Eligible for re-publication under another user's name — attribution is permanent

What other users can do with your public track#

• Play it
• Favourite it
• Add it to their personal playlists
• Add it to their service plans
• Share the link
• Rate it (their ratings are private to them)

What they cannot do without your permission:

• Use it commercially (see Commercial Use and Licensing Information)
• Republish it as their own
• Modify the audio and call the result theirs

Unpublishing#

You can unpublish at any time:

1. Open the track.
2. Click Share or Visibility.
3. Change visibility back to Private (or Organization).
4. Click Save.

The track immediately leaves the discovery feed. Users who already favourited or queued the track lose access; users who added it to their personal library see it as "no longer available" until you republish.

Attribution and your profile#

Public tracks appear on your public profile page along with anything else you've published. If you have several public tracks that fit a theme (Easter songs, a particular psalm, a series), they're collected on your profile and easy to browse.

Content guidelines#

Public publication is a higher bar than private generation. Tracks that pass internal moderation may still fall short of the Community Guidelines for public publication — for example, tracks that are theologically sound but heavily denomination-specific or aren't congregationally usable. We err on the side of letting these be public unless they cause problems, but we may unpublish or hide tracks that:

• Are inaccurately tagged or titled
• Are duplicates or near-duplicates of existing public tracks from the same creator
• Generate sustained negative community feedback

You'll be notified by email if a track of yours is unpublished, with the reason and next steps.
