# Content warnings

Put a warning over the whole post, or mark just the media as sensitive.

-   A warning on the whole post covers the text, media, poll, preview and location.
-   If you only mark the media, people can still see the text.
-   Welley understands the ActivityPub summary warnings that Mastodon uses.

A warning can cover the whole post or just its media. The media-only option is turned off while the post has no media.

A warning on the whole post hides the text until a reader chooses to show it. The author can add their own reason.
