The more people use a wheel, the more they want to keep, share, reuse, or protect it.

At first, a wheel may be just a quick decision. Then you create one for a class, another for an office raffle, another for party games, another for your personal tasks.

Soon the question becomes:

“Should I save this?”
“Where are my saved wheels?”
“Can I share this live?”
“Should this be public or private?”

Those are good questions.

This guide explains the practical difference between live sessions, Save Wheel, My Wheels, public wheels, and private wheels in ClickTheWheel.

The Simple Version

Use:

  • Live Sessions when people need to join or watch together.
  • Save Wheel when you want to reuse a wheel later.
  • My Wheels to find your saved wheels.
  • Public sharing when the wheel is safe and useful for others.
  • Private setting when the wheel is only for your own use.

Live Sessions

A live session is for a shared moment.

Use it for:

  • giveaways
  • team games
  • classroom activities
  • remote icebreakers
  • party decisions
  • group raffles

The host controls the wheel. Guests join to watch or participate.

Live sessions are best when the moment matters now.

Save Wheel

Save Wheel is for keeping a wheel.

Use it when:

  • you customized entries
  • you want to reuse the wheel
  • you prepared settings
  • the list took time to build
  • the wheel is part of a routine

Examples:

Friday Office Raffle
Classroom Review Wheel
Birthday Party Game
Dinner Picker
Weekly Task Wheel

If a wheel matters, save it.

My Wheels

My Wheels is your list of saved wheels.

Good organization helps.

Use clear names so you can find them later.

Instead of:

Wheel 1
Test
Names

Use:

Grade 5 Vocabulary Review
May Office Raffle
Family Dinner Picker
Team Icebreaker Friday

Public Wheels

A public wheel can be shared or made visible to others, depending on the app’s Gallery or Community Wheels behavior.

Public wheels are good for:

  • reusable game ideas
  • classroom templates
  • fun decision wheels
  • general prompts
  • party games
  • community sharing

Before making a wheel public, remove private information.

Private Wheels

Private wheels are for your own use.

Keep wheels private if they include:

  • student names
  • employee names
  • customer names
  • personal tasks
  • private errands
  • internal company topics
  • sensitive event entries

Private should be the default when personal data is involved.
