      Previewing & Publishing

      Know the differences between previewing and publishing a publication.

      🚀 Previewing vs. Publishing in AVIOU

      When your catalogue is ready to review or go live, AVIOU offers three options:

      1. ✅ Publish This Variant

      • Click “Publish” (top right)

      • Pushes your current catalogue live to your selected destination (website or hosted link)

      • Use this:

        • When you’re ready to launch

        • Or when you want to roll out changes to a live publication

      📌 Important: Any edits you make after publishing won't be visible until you click Publish again.

      2. 👁️ Preview Link (Internal Sharing)

      • Click the down-arrow next to the "Publish" button

      • Select “Preview Link”

      • A URL will open in a new tab

      • Share this link with colleagues or stakeholders

      🔒 This is a private preview — not visible to end users.

      3. 🌐 Preview on Site (Real-World Testing)

      • Also found under the “Publish” dropdown

      • Opens your catalogue on an AVIOU-hosted test version of your site

      • Ideal for:

        • Testing layout and visuals

        • Checking Add-to-Basket or other integrations

      🧪 Use this to verify everything functions as expected before publishing live.
