Share a web preview
Last reviewed:
Anyone holding the preview link can open the development website. Share it with people you trust and review the visible content first.
Share the link
- 1
Start Preview
Open the website preview and wait until ready. If no secure link appears or startup fails, address the message first.
- 2
Copy the preview link
Use your browser’s Copy link address action on the preview link in the toolbar. Copy the complete link, not just its shortened label; the dashboard address is not the website’s share link.
- 3
Check recipient access
Open the link in a separate window to check it. If the preview has stopped, return and start it. If the link was revoked, review and send the new one.
Revoke old links
- 1
Open the link menu
Open the actions menu beside the preview link, then choose Revoke shared links. This requires editing permission.
- 2
Wait for confirmation
After success, old links and the access sessions they created stop working. A new link appears on the same preview address. Share only the new one with intended recipients.
- 3
Handle a revocation error
If an error appears, retry and check for success; do not assume access ended before confirmation.
Change the preview address
- 1
Choose Refresh link
In the same menu, choose Refresh link when you want a completely new address.
- 2
Wait for the new address
Wait for the update and test the new link. Start Preview if requested. If the refresh limit is reached, wait for the period shown in the message.
Sharing a preview does not grant project-team membership or make it a permanent published website. To invite an editor or viewer, see Project team; for publishing, see Publish.
