What you control
There are three independent toggles, one per kind of shared data. Each toggle is reciprocal — it governs both what your organization contributes to the shared pool and what it sees from it. Turn a domain on and your organization both shares its own data and draws on data other organizations have shared; turn it off and your organization is isolated for that domain, contributing nothing and seeing only its own rows.on by default
Whether the product knowledge your organization contributes (attributes,
descriptions, and other enriched product data) is shared with — and drawn
from — other organizations, or kept private to yours.
on by default
Whether the brand technologies your organization contributes are shared with
and drawn from other organizations, or kept private.
off by default
Whether the MAP policies your organization
contributes are shared with and drawn from other organizations, or kept
private.
Defaults, and why they differ
Products and technologies are shared by default. This reference data benefits every organization, so contributing it back is the default. MAP policy sharing is off by default. A MAP policy is a legal agreement between a specific brand and a specific reseller, so sharing it across organizations carries legal and compliance risk. It stays private to your organization unless you explicitly turn sharing on. Because the toggle is reciprocal, by default your organization neither shares its own MAP policies nor sees any that other organizations have shared — you opt into both at once. See MAP policies for how MAP data is governed.Whatever you don’t share stays fully usable within your own organization —
turning a toggle off never hides your own data from you. It does cut both ways,
though: with a domain off, your organization also stops reading other
organizations’ shared data in that domain, so reads return only your own rows.
Toggles affect future data only
This is the most important thing to understand about these settings: So if you turn MAP-policy sharing on today, only policies contributed after that point are shared; earlier ones stay private. Likewise, turning a toggle off doesn’t pull back what you’ve already shared. If you need to change the sharing state of existing data, treat it as a separate cleanup rather than expecting the toggle to do it. The future-only rule applies to contributions — what your organization shares. Visibility works differently: what your organization can read from the shared pool is evaluated live against the current toggle, so turning a domain off immediately stops your organization from seeing shared data in that domain, and turning it back on immediately restores that access — for all shared rows, not just those saved after the change.Related
