Understanding Customer View: Your Images Are Safe
The Common Concern
"When I click on Customer View, it appears that customers can access all of my uploaded images. How do I prevent customers from accessing all of my graphics?"
Quick answer: Your images are completely safe. Customers cannot see all your uploads. ✅
Why You See All Your Images in Customer View
When you click "Customer View" in the designer editor, you're still logged in as the designer. The system knows you're the owner, so it shows you everything you have access to - just like how you can see all rooms in your house because you have the keys, but visitors only see what you let them see.
What Customers Actually See
Real customers have a completely different (and limited) experience:
- Only their own uploads
- Only images you've made available in that specific design
- Not your private image library - they can't browse your full collection
Test It Yourself
Want proof? Here's how to see what customers really experience:
Method 1: Test Your Listing Demo
- Go to your listing and click on the demo/preview
- This shows exactly what customers see
- Try customizing through the demo
- You'll see the true customer interface without your designer privileges
Method 2: Ask Someone to Test
Have a friend access your design as a real customer and see what they can access.
Bottom Line
🛡️ Your image library is completely private and secure
🎯 "Customer View" shows the interface layout, not actual customer permissions
👥 Real customers only see what you explicitly share with them
The "Customer View" feature helps you preview the customer experience, but it doesn't compromise your asset security. Your creative work stays protected while customers get the customization experience you designed for them.
