# Access

> Choose who can open a preview.

## Find the preview URL

Expect one URL for each pull request on peakview\.now.

```text theme={null}
https://pr-42-web-1a2b3c4d.peakview.now
```

The URL holds the pull request number, the repository name, and the start of your workspace ID.
Expect the URL to stay the same on every push.

To open previews on your own domain, see [Custom domain](https://docs.peak.inc/peakviews/custom-domain.md).

## Choose access

| Access | Who can open the preview |
| - | - |
| Private | Visitors who sign in with GitHub and have read access to the repository. This is the default. |
| Public | Anyone with the link |

Sign in to Peak as an Admin to change it.

1. Open [Previews](https://app.peak.inc/previews).
2. Open your repository.
3. Under Access, choose Private or Public.

Expect the change on every preview of the repository.

## Open a private preview

Open the URL.
Sign in with GitHub when asked.
Expect the sign-in to last 8 hours on that preview URL.

If Peak denies access, ask for read access to the repository on GitHub.

## Check the preview's own pages

| Page | What to do |
| - | - |
| Building | Wait. The page reloads itself. |
| Starting | Wait. Peak is starting a stopped preview. |
| Build failed | Open the Peakviews check on the pull request. |
| Not responding | Check that your app listens on its port. |
| Too many requests | Wait a minute and retry. |

Expect Peak to ask search engines not to index previews.
Expect rate limits on every preview.
