# Share offspring updates on a public page

On her pregnancy card, choose **Share upcoming calves publicly**, write an update and pick the photos to show. Nothing is public until you review it and choose **Publish update**, and her breeding records stay private.

The button uses the word for her species, such as kids or lambs. Once her page exists, it reads **Share photos and updates publicly**.

## Start a page

Open the mother's **Breeding** tab and find her pregnancy card.

**Share upcoming calves publicly** sets up a private page for the expected babies and opens the share form. You can also start from **Share calf updates** at the top of her Breeding tab. It opens **Share offspring updates**, where you can:

- keep going on a page under **Your offspring pages**
- start from a saved pregnancy under **Recorded pregnancies and pairings**
- start from scratch under **Start with a mother**: pick the **Mother**, answer **What is true right now?**, then choose **Continue to photos**

Planning a pairing you have not made yet? Choose **Plan this pairing** after a test mating. See [Test a mating before you breed](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/test-a-mating-before-you-breed-12xakei/).

## Write the update

1. Check the **Page title**, or choose **Use suggested title**.
2. Under **Choose existing pregnancy photos**, tick only the photos you want visitors to see. Your record notes and other files stay private.
3. Turn on **Also show this page on my website when it is published** if you have a Creatures website.
4. On a new page, choose what visitors can do under **How should visitors use this page?**: **Photos and updates only**, or **Photos, updates and applications** to let people apply. Pages for horses and donkeys are updates only.
5. Write your news under **Your update**. Add new pictures with **Upload photos**.
6. Choose **Preview update**.

Photos you upload can be opened by anyone with their direct link, even before you publish. Choose them with care.

To take applications, see [Offer a litter or group to buyers](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/offer-a-litter-or-group-to-buyers-applications-and-reservations-lin2v6/).

## Review and publish

**Review before publishing** shows your update as visitors will see it. Only you can see this preview.

1. Pick a **Website cover photo** if Creatures offers one.
2. Tick **Make these photos and text public on Creatures**.
3. Choose **Publish update**, or **Edit this draft** to change it first.

You'll see **Your update is public**, with **View public page** and **Share another update**. The page shows the expected date, the parents with public profiles, and your updates.

Your website shows the page only when your site is published and includes groups and litters.

## Change or take it down

Open the share form again from the card. Under **Page settings**, choose **Change what visitors can do**, pick an option, and choose **Save page settings**. While applications or reservations are open, you can't switch back to **Photos and updates only**.

Under **Recent updates**, choose **Unpublish this update** to take one down. It leaves feeds and public pages. Direct photo links still work, and copies visitors saved can't be recalled. To manage the whole page, choose **Manage this group's public page**.

## Public page or reserved buyers?

A public page is for anyone following along. To send a private note only to buyers who paid a reservation, use **Share with reserved buyers** instead. See [Sharing pregnancy updates with reserved buyers](https://help.creatures.com/en/article/sharing-pregnancy-updates-with-reserved-buyers-lhleit/).
