Previewing Websites Without Web CMS Access

Issue/Question

How can I preview a website if I am not trained in Web CMS or do not have access to Web CMS?

Environment

  • Web CMS

Cause

A website needs to be previewed before being made public, but a user cannot log into Web CMS beforehand as they do not have access. 

Resolution

There is not currently a role within Web CMS to set someone as a reviewer in order to see a website before it is published. If a web page needs to be created for previewing purposes you may create a new web page, ensuring that it is not linked to from any existing pages, and share the published URL with the person who needs to review it. Once the page has been approved, you can schedule to publish and replace a current page or folder in order to move the page where it will need to be.
