Preview a draft before it's live
Last updated
See a page the way visitors will, then send a link to someone else so they can look at it before you publish. The link works without signing in.
- Who can do this
- Owners and admins
- Where to find it
- Website, then Edit, then Preview or Share
A draft is not on your live site, but you can still look at it, and show it to other people.
Preview a page yourself
In the editor, choose Preview. The page opens in a new tab as visitors will see it, with your latest changes. If it says "Save the page before previewing it", wait for the top bar to say "Saved" and try again.
Share a preview with someone else
Use this for a partner, a co-owner or a designer who should see a page before it goes live.
In the editor, choose Share. A panel titled "Share a preview" opens.
Under Who is it for?, type a name if you like. Only you see it, in the list below.
Under Link works for, choose 1, 3, 7 or 14 days.
Choose Create link.
Choose Copy link and send it.
The person sees the page as it is now, without signing in. If you change the page afterward, they still see the version you shared.
See who opened it
Under Links to this page, each link shows who it is for, when it works until, and how often it was opened.
Stop sharing
Choose Stop sharing beside a link, or Stop sharing all for every link on the page, then confirm with Stop sharing or keep it with Keep sharing. Anyone who opens a stopped link sees "This preview has ended". Links that have ended stay in the list for a week.
