# Public And Private Status Pages

> Configure public status pages for customer communication and private status pages for internal team updates during incidents and maintenance.

Rootly has two types of status pages available: public status pages and private status pages. Both can be used to communicate relevant information about ongoing or past incidents and the status of incidents and services.

By default, you will have a public and private status page to customize and configure. You can add additional pages from the Status Page section in Rootly.
