Preview your website before guests see it
Choose Preview link at the top of the editor. You get a link to your website as guests will see it, to open or share, and it works for 2 hours.

Works on your phone
Want to see your website the way guests will, or show it to your partner or your mum first? A preview link does just that, without publishing anything. Your live website stays exactly as it is.
Steps
-
Open Website and choose Preview link (1) at the top. On a phone, it's in the ⋮ menu at the top. WedBuild saves your latest changes first, then makes the link.
-
Preview Link Generated! opens. Choose Open Preview to look at it yourself, or copy the link to send to someone. A small Preview Mode label near the top right reminds everyone it's a preview.
-
Open the link on your phone too, to check how your website looks there.
-
Happy with it? Choose Publish website (or Republish) so your guests see it. See Publish your website, and republish changes.
Good to know
-
A preview link lasts 2 hours. After that, it shows Preview Link Expired. Just make a new one.
-
You can have one preview link at a time. Making a new one replaces the last.
-
Don't send a preview link to all your guests. It stops working after 2 hours: share your real website address instead, from Settings, Guest links.
-
It's the same in both editors. The classic editor has Preview link in the same place.
