How to create an unlisted post on Medium

As I first noted in my article about “secret” Medium posts, you can publish an unlisted Medium article. Unlisted stories will not appear in the home feed, profile page, tag page, or search on Medium, nor will they appear in notifications or email digests.

However, if you are mentioned in an unlisted Medium post by another author, you will still see this notification in your Medium profile:

Note: I have redacted the author’s name, avatar, and full post title to maintain their privacy.

These posts look like a standard post but have the unlisted symbol next to the author name:

To share an unlisted story, simply share the URL of the post. Unlisted stories are not password protected, and anyone who has the link will be able to view the post. This means that while they may be relatively private (non-indexed), you should not put confidential information in an unlisted post.

So what are some good uses of unlisted posts?
