Snippets

What Is a Snippet?

A snippet is a saved piece of code that you can reuse across projects and environments.

Snipplle supports two types of snippets:

• Private snippets — visible only inside a workspace
• Public snippets — available to everyone through the public library

Creating Snippets

Snippets are created inside a workspace.

When creating a snippet, you can:

• Give the snippet a name
• Choose a programming language
• Define its visibility (private or public)
• Add the tags
• Add the code content

This keeps snippet creation simple and flexible.

Public Snippets

Public snippets are shared with the community.

• Public snippets are accessible to anyone
• They appear in the public library
• They can be viewed without joining a workspace

Public snippets are still owned by their original workspace.

Private Snippets

Private snippets are restricted to workspace members.

• Visible only to the workspace owner and members
• Not accessible outside the workspace
• Removed immediately when a user loses workspace access

This makes private snippets suitable for internal or sensitive code.

Editing Snippets

Snippets can be edited at any time.

You can update:

• The snippet content
• Its name
• Its visibility (public or private)

Changes apply immediately.

Access and Visibility

Snippet access follows clear rules:

• Public snippets are globally readable
• Private snippets are workspace-scoped
• Workspace membership defines private access

This model ensures clarity and predictability.
