# Can I publish a site with only some content requiring authentication? Yes! You can have a public site with some authenticated sections using Adaptive Content without requiring login for the entire site. **Recommended Approach:** 1. Keep your site audience as Public, Unlisted or Share link 2. Enable Adaptive content in site settings 3. Use **signed cookies** to pass user claims after they log in to your main application 4. Set conditions on specific pages/sections to show only for authenticated users See our [signed cookie documentation](https://gitbook.com/docs/publishing-documentation/adaptive-content/enabling-adaptive-content/cookies#signed-cookie) for implementation details. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
