Preview drafts and update a publication
Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 2 min read
Review working pages and publish them when ready.
Editor draft pages and published page content are separate. Opening Share alone does not publish draft pages.
Follow these steps
- 1
Review the draft
EditorPreview
Open preview from the top bar and choose a viewing format. Check page navigation, buttons, images, and text overflow. Test actions as a reader rather than as a canvas editor.
- 2
Complete preflight
EditorPreflight
Review page and block findings in Preflight. With accessible publishing enabled, blocking issues must be resolved. If product records changed, check their cards too.
- 3
Publish or update
EditorSharePublish / Update
Use Publish for the first release and Update for draft changes to an existing publication. The action saves current pages and prepares published content. Wait for completion rather than starting again during progress.
- 4
Open the reader link
EditorShareCatalog link
After success, open the link in a new tab. Check the changed pages and important actions, confirming that the intended changes reached readers.
- 5
Separate data and settings scope
EditorShare
Separate draft pages do not imply that every setting and product field is frozen. Shared product data and access settings have their own scope. Downloaded PDFs remain old files until exported again.
Result
Confirm the intended page version in the reader tab. Verify saving, revision creation, and publication updates separately.
