# Managing Activation Access

### Access Types

#### Public Activations

* Visible to everyone on Layer3
* Appears in your Community Space
* Discoverable through search and browse
* Best for maximum reach and engagement

#### Whitelist Access

* Restrict to specific wallet addresses
* Upload addresses via CSV file
* Track claims and spots remaining
* Ideal for targeted campaigns or token drops

#### Private (Link Only)

* Hidden from public discovery
* Accessible only via direct link
* Not shown in your Community Space
* Perfect for exclusive Activations or internal community Activations

### Best Practices

1. **Public Activations**
   * Best for community growth
   * Use when targeting new users
   * Good for viral campaigns
2. **Whitelist Usage**
   * Download example list first
   * Verify CSV format
   * Keep backup of addresses
3. **Private Links**
   * Share links securely
   * Consider expiry dates
   * Monitor unusual activity

### Important Notes

* Claimed spots are permanent
* Save changes before proceeding
* Test access before full launch
