Shareable Preview links enable the creation of a link that provides access to a draft project in SPP without the need for the user to login.
Creating a Shareable Preview Link
This is mostly used to share a private project to a select number of people creating them is fairly easy! Here's how:
- Go to Dashboard.
- Click on 'Projects'. Use Search to find the project for which you want to create a preview link.
- Select the "Preview link" option for that project.
- A window will appear. Click on the "create link" button.
- A preview link for the project will be generated. You can share this link with others to allow them to preview the project without having to login.
⚠️NOTE: Any contributions submitted via the Preview Link will appear in your reports once the project is published.
Sharing draft sub-pages or news pages?
There are some circumstances where a page is already published, and you may only need to share a new draft sub-page. Perhaps you have a news page that needs to be reviewed before being sent out? You can create shareable links for these pages too.
How to share a link for a draft sub-page or news page:
You will need both the preview user share link and the draft page URL you want to share:
- Create the preview share link for the project as you would normally.
- Then, copy the URL of the draft page. Send both links to your intended audience.
- The user will first need to enter the preview link URL - this authenticates them as a preview user.
- Then, they can access the draft news page via the draft page URL.
