🎲 Browsing a shared list: Show all and Pick random

Show all or Pick random — the two ways to browse the wishes on a shared Bestboy list, and when the random picker shows up.

## 🎲 Browsing a shared list: Show all and Pick random

Once a list you've [shared](/help/sharing-your-wishlist) has three or more wishes, visitors will see a small switcher above the wishes with two ways to browse it:

- **Show all** — the standard list view, in the order the wishes are arranged. - **Pick random** — lands on a random wish from the list. Handy when someone genuinely can't decide what to get, or wants to make picking a gift into a little game.

Switching view modes doesn't change anything about the list itself — it's just a different way to look at the same wishes.

Frequently asked questions

Does switching view modes change my list?

No — Show all and Pick random are just different ways to look at the same wishes on a shared list. Nothing about the list itself changes when you switch.

Which view mode should I use to help someone pick a gift?

Pick random is built for exactly that — it lands on a random wish from the list, which is handy when someone genuinely can't decide.

Why don't I see the Pick random option?

It only shows up once a list has three or more wishes, since spinning through only one or two options doesn't make sense as a game.
