Use the public view of My Site

The public view of your personal site provides information about you and your work that you choose to share with other people in your organization.

The design, layout, and Web Parts on the public view cannot be personalized. They are designed to look consistent across the organization.

Note Other people in your organization can see your public view even if you have never created a personal site.

The public view shows the following information:

Your public profile Depending upon your organization, this can include such things as your picture, information about you, and contact details. This allows other people in your organization to learn information about you and to contact you.
Organization Organizational information, such as your manager and reporting structure.
Recent Documents Your five most recently modified documents on the intranet, listed in order starting with the most recent and highlighted so that other people in the organization can find them. All of your recent documents from the intranet are listed here, and not just documents stored in your personal site.
Shared Links These are links that you specifically decide to share with other people on your personal site.
Shared Workspace Sites SharePoint sites, Document Workspace sites, and Meeting Workspace sites that you share with other people in your organization. For other people to see these workspace sites in the public view of your personal site, you must first invite them to join the workspace sites.
Shared Lists and Shared Pages Action pane links to your shared lists and shared pages. People can only see the lists and pages to which they have access.

To switch to the public view when you are viewing the private view, click Public in the Select View section of the action pane.
