What decides whether a book can be adapted

Topview: whether uploads go public

On whether uploads and creations are public, Topview's terms read: content is public only where you share it, through links, the library or the community. As of 2026-09-25.

Content you have made public through share links, Library, Community, campaigns, or similar public or submitted surfaces

1What “public only if you share it” means here

Public only by choice means nothing is shown to other users until you share it. The default protects an unpublished text, as long as the share button is not pressed by mistake.

2Other tools with this reading

Descript, Pika, Runway and SceneMixer have the same reading, which makes 5 of the 24 tools.

This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.

3Why it matters for a book

For an unpublished book this is the plainest risk: a manuscript or a scene visible in a community gallery has been published in the ordinary sense, whatever the licence says.
