Do Pinterest Collections Need to be Made Public?

[Erwinsmithx]

I need help understanding whether Pinterest collections need to be made public. I’m looking for a brief explanation of the rules, options, and any advantages or disadvantages of keeping collections public or private.

No. Pinterest collections (boards) can be kept private or made public—it’s your choice. Private boards are only visible to you (and invited collaborators), while public boards are visible to everyone.

No — Pinterest collections (called boards) do not have to be public. You can make them private (“secret boards”) so only you (and anyone you invite) can see the pins in that board. Public boards are visible to everyone unless you toggle the secret/private setting.

No, Pinterest collections do not need to be public. You can keep boards private for personal use, planning, or drafts. Public boards help with visibility and engagement, while private collections are ideal for saving ideas without sharing them publicly.
