Sign out safely
Who and before: Signed-in customers. Save unfinished work first, especially device-only drafts.
Start: The person menu > Log Out, or the Log Out button at the bottom of Profile.
Steps:
1. Check any listing/review/guide save status. Keep a personal copy of important unsynced text and original photos where appropriate.
2. Select Log Out once and wait while it is pending.
3. Check that private areas now request sign-in. On a shared device, also close downloaded private files and the browser/app when finished.
Result and check: The session ends and you return to the public view.
Limits and recovery: If logout reports failure, follow its retry/recovery message; do not assume that closing a tab ended the remote session. Normal logout does not necessarily remove deliberately enrolled biometric sign-in. Use Manage Security to remove it (A07). Clearing browser data or reinstalling is not the first recovery step because unsynced work can be lost.
