not see the light of day

not see the light of day

To not be published, disseminated, or made available to the public in some capacity; to be kept secret or hidden. Trust me, your manuscript won't see the light of day if you don't have a good literary agent. That document contains far too much sensitive information. Make sure it never sees the light of day.
