Introduction to Public Preview Links
Public preview links let anyone view your course exactly as learners will see it. Whether the course is unpublished, live, or a Course Draft, you can share a preview for a designated domain—even with users who don’t have a Skilljar account. Admins can customize these links by selecting the starting page, whether that’s the course details, curriculum, or a specific lesson.
This feature provides a secure and accurate way to review course drafts without giving external stakeholders access to the Skilljar dashboard.
