# List Availability

## What is List Availability?

*List Availability* is a property that determines whether an entity is available in automatically created lists. Possible values are:

- **Public**: The entity is available in automatically created lists
- **Unlisted**: The entity is not available in automatically created lists

All entities — except editorial selections — have the*List Availability* property.

## How ‌List Availability works

### Editorial selection side

Editorial selections allows automatically selecting entities by:

- *Entity types*
- *Tags*
- *By context*

See [Create and manage an editorial selection](/v1/docs/create-and-manage-editorial-selections) and [Create and manage an editorial selection (localized)](/v1/docs/create-and-manage-localized-editorial-selections) for further information

Entities whose List Availability is *Unlisted* are excluded from the selection; only the *Public* ones are included.

Conversely, entities that are manually added to the editorial selection display regardless of their List Availability value.

### Front-end side

The front-end gets lists of entities through the FORGE Distribution API. E.g., the front-end can get the 10 most recent stories with the *news*tag.

Entities whose List Availability is *Unlisted* are excluded from FORGE Distribution API results; only the *Public* ones are included.
