# Publish notes with monographs

Sharing a note with someone can be such a tedious task. You have to copy/download/export it to a file and then attach it in an email or upload it to some cloud storage.

With Notesnook, you don't need to do that anymore. Monographs enable you to share your notes with anyone in a single click. Once a note is published as a monograph, you get a public URL which you can share with anyone. They don't need to download Notesnook or install any extra software — it's just like a blog, only simpler.

> warn Size limit
>
> Currently, monographs are limited to 15 MB in size. This includes attachments as well. If you try to publish a note larger than 15 MB, you'll get an error.

## Password protection

When you are sharing sensitive information with someone, you can encrypt the monograph with a password. Only someone who has the password can decrypt and read the contents of the note. While you are on the Publish note dialog, turn on password protection and enter a password for the monograph. Then click publish to publish the note.

## Self destruct

Self destruct means that the published note can be viewed only once. Once someone visits the public URL to see the contents of the note, the monograph is deleted and it cannot be viewed again.

1. Right click on a note
2. Click on `Publish` to open publish note popup
