im trying out how too publish a dendron vault as a documentation website

but for some reason, every note i create is private by default

how do i change this?

sorry late reply

when i try just running in dev mode, i can't access the notes i make

cuz they're private

https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e5st4LFLtIwwbQmC6JBaF/ is this what you're following?

no

this one

Yeah the one I linked is the second page to that. Try publishing and see if it changes their visibility?

hmm i'll see

i'll try following this one

Can you open your config yaml and see if there is a publishByDefault option set in there?

i don't think i have that

is that under

site:

?

Sorry yeah it should be under site in the config

i see

Try implementing that to true https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f2ed8639-a604-4a9d-b76c-41e205fb8713/

It sounds like it keeps the notes private until you publish so you can have working copies. You can either set it to automatic or not but if you publish they should be public.

didn't work for some reason

lemme try redoing the dendron workspace and follow this one

To be clear, that's not a different guide. Just the next page after the one you followed.

i see

but, i do notice those docs having one with

Publish-Legacy

and

Publish

hm

even setting the frontmatter doesn't work

and i feel like the config part doesn't work

this is the current

site:

part of my

dendron.yml

file:

yml
site:
    copyAssets: true
    siteHierarchies:
        - root
    siteRootDir: docs
    siteUrl: http://localhost:3000
    usePrettyRefs: true
    title: Dendron
    description: Personal knowledge space
    siteLastModified: true
    gh_edit_branch: main
    duplicateNoteBehavior:
        action: useVault
        payload:
            - vault
    config:
        topics:
            publishByDefault: true

i rly dunno what im doing wrong
