Instructions on how to create a test user and preview your site.

Updated over 9 months ago

If you're like me, you want to see the masterpiece you're building while its being created. After all, "Its the not the Destination, It's the journey". πŸ˜‰ That's why its vital to preview while you're creating your products and making updates.

Follow these simple steps to preview your site.

Step 1: Create and invite a new test user

Step 2: Apply product access to the test user

Now that you have created that user, just give yourself the necessary product permissions.

NOTE: You need at least 1 live product and at least 1 page set to live mode, or you'll be previewing an empty site. Learn more

Step 3: Login and preview your hard work

Now you can preview your site by clicking the link in the top right of the Admin backend.

NOTE: Hover over the icon to see your unique user site URL.

PRO TIP: When you create the test user, use a simple and easy password to enter. If you don't already have a password manager.

Step 4: Testing regularly

Any time you make a change or edit of any kind (user permissions, theme, product settings, page edits) we recommend you log out and back in as that test user to see the latest and greatest.

Copy page link

To make it easy to view and share your various CustomerHub site pages, a copy link option is available for all posts, products, and pages throughout the admin interface.

The copy link option can be found in the menu dropdown on a post, product, or page as follows:

After copying the link, simply paste it into any browser window to be directed to the corresponding post, product, or page on the user site.

NOTE: If you are not logged into the site as an end user, you will be prompted to do so before being directed to the corresponding content.
