Zpřístupnit is a Czech verb meaning to render something accessible or to make it available to others, such as information, data, services, or spaces. It is widely used in contexts such as publishing documents, opening data portals, or providing public access to facilities or APIs. As a perfective verb, zpřístupnit emphasizes the completion of the action; its imperfective counterpart is zpřístupňovat, used for repeated or ongoing actions of making something accessible. The noun zpřístupnění denotes the act of making something accessible, and the related concept přístupnost (accessibility) is often discussed in the same context.
