# Community Watches

> Browse public monitoring setups and publish your own

The [Community](https://sitespy.app/dashboard/community) page is a public directory of watch configurations. It exists to show you which pages other people find worth monitoring, and how they set them up. Copying a setup across is not part of it — see below.

## Browsing

Watches are grouped into categories: Price Monitoring, Job Tracking, Competitor Intel, Restock Alerts, Government & Tenders, Real Estate, News & Media, and Other. Each entry shows the page being watched and its category.

Every published watch also has a public page at `sitespy.app/community/<name>`, readable without an account.

## Watching the same page yourself

Open an entry to see what somebody watches and how they set it up. To follow the same page, use **Watch This Page Yourself** — it takes you to the dashboard with the address filled in, and the picker opens so you [choose what to follow](/docs/dashboard/element-picker) on your own. Nothing else is carried across.

One-click cloning used to copy the whole configuration. It was removed because what a watch follows is the part that decides whether it is useful, and inheriting a stranger's choice — or their lack of one, when the entry was published without filters — meant starting with a monitor that alerted on everything.

If you want somebody's exact configuration, ask them for a [share link](/docs/dashboard/share-links) instead. That is a deliberate act by the person who built the watch, rather than a public entry standing in for one.

## Publishing

Click **+ Publish**, choose one of your watches, pick a category, and optionally add an author name to be credited.

<Warning>
  Publishing is public and includes the watch URL, its title, and its filter configuration. Do not publish watches whose URL contains a token, a session ID, a private or unlisted page, or anything else you would not post openly. Your email address and API key are never published.
</Warning>

Published watches show a globe marker in your own watch list. The number of publishes per account is capped to keep the directory useful.

## Removing a published watch

Unpublish it from the same page. The public entry and its permalink disappear; any watch someone already created from it stays in their account, because it was always an independent watch.
