Open Materials anonymous unpublished version for reviewers

It would be really useful if there was an option in Gorilla Open Materials to create an anonymous link to your materials without your name visible, and without the materials being publicly listed for anyone (without a private link) to see. Journals are increasingly asking for reviewers to be able to access experimental materials, but Open Materials is not currently useful for the review process due to lack of anonymity and no option to keep materials private until the stage when the paper has been published. Would this be a possibility?

Hi there! In today's update, we're released an option on Open Materials pages to make them Private! They can still be accessed via the pages URL but won't appear on the public search pages!

Yes! Another option is to share via simple link and include a reject node so that it doesn't consume a participant token, but this requires you to have tokens on the account in the first place which isn't always the case for peer review of pre-registrations or Registered Reports (in this instance the experiments are definitely not ready to go on Open Materials). I'd also just like to send a link to collaborators in the same way so they can to give feedback on a work-in-progress without needing to make an account and be added as a collaborator.
