How to control who sees a moment and when

The Timeframe & Access tab has toggles that let you control exactly when a moment becomes visible to your guest — useful for keeping details like access codes hidden until they're needed.

Alongside the start time, the Timeframe & Access tab has toggles that let you control exactly when a moment becomes visible to your guest — useful for keeping details like access codes hidden until they're needed.

What it does

Under Allow access to this timeline moment, each moment has up to four toggles:

  • Before the guest arrival — on by default. Turn off to hide the moment before your guest arrives.

  • Before the moment — on by default. Turn off to hide the moment before its own start time.

  • After the moment — on by default. Turn off to hide the moment once the next one starts, for example to hide check-in codes after check-out.

  • After the guest departure — off by default. Turn on to keep the moment visible after your guest leaves.

What your guests see

A moment your guest can't open yet still shows in the moments strip with its title, but with no content inside — its widgets simply aren't sent to their device.

Good to know

  • These toggles work alongside your invitation's Access Level settings — they can only restrict access further, never open up content the invitation has already closed off.

  • If a guest's stay has no dates (for example a quick-share link), none of these toggles apply and every moment is open.

  • Post-stay shows only Before the guest arrival and Before the moment — the other two have nothing to sit after on the last moment.

  • If you switch Before the guest arrival off, Before the moment is locked, because arrival is already the wider of the two rules.

Why this is better: Hosts can time-sensitive information like door codes so it only appears exactly when a guest needs it.
