## Anonymous submissions

Let visitors submit and vote without creating an account. This lowers friction on public boards and the embed widget.

## Configuration

Enable guest submissions from **Settings → Board Settings**:

1. Open **Settings → Board Settings**
2. Turn on **Enable anonymous submissions**
3. Optionally keep **Enable comments** on if guests should discuss posts

Guests are tracked with a browser fingerprint so they can vote and comment without an account. Signed-in users are attributed to their profile, or to the identity you pass through the [widget](/docs/getting-started/widget).

## Moderation

Keep boards clean with the tools in the workspace:

| Tool | Function |
|------|----------|
| **Archive** | Remove content from public view |
| **Spam** | Flag unwanted posts or comments |
| **Reports** | Review user-submitted reports |
| **Merge** | Combine duplicate requests |

There is no separate approval queue. New posts go live according to your board settings.

## When to enable

Guest feedback works well for:

- Public feature request boards
- Marketing pages capturing visitor input
- Low-friction in-app widgets

## When to require sign-in

Turn anonymous submissions off when:

- You need to follow up with a specific person
- The board covers sensitive topics
- You are seeing abuse
- Feedback should be tied to a customer account

For public boards where signed-in names should stay private, see [Mask identities](/docs/getting-started/mask-identities).
