Publishing a page without previewing it is one of the most reliable ways to send visitors to a broken experience. Placeholder text. Buttons that go nowhere. A mobile layout that bears no resemblance to desktop. Preview catches all of it before anyone sees it.
How to Preview
In-builder preview: Click the Preview button in the top toolbar. Good for quick checks while building.
Mobile view: Toggle the device icon in the preview toolbar. Check every section — things that look great on desktop often stack awkwardly on mobile.
Incognito browser tab: Copy the page's draft URL and open it in an incognito window. This shows exactly what a visitor sees — no logged-in state, no cached assets.
Pre-Publish Checklist
- All placeholder text replaced with your own copy — read every word
- Every image loads correctly and is sized appropriately
- Headline reads clearly on both desktop and mobile
- Every button has an action assigned and links to the correct destination
- CTA button works — click it in the preview
- Forms collect the right fields and submit correctly
- SEO title, meta description, and social sharing image are filled in
- The page URL slug is clean, lowercase, and correct
- Mobile layout looks complete and intentional
How to Publish
Return to the funnel view. Toggle the step from Draft to Published. Open the published URL in a fresh browser tab — not the builder preview. Confirm everything renders correctly. Check one more time on mobile. Then send traffic.
Common Mistakes
- Publishing from inside the builder without verifying the live URL in a fresh tab.
- Publishing one step while forgetting others are still in Draft.
- Checking desktop only — always check mobile before going live.
- Clicking Publish and immediately sending traffic without walking through the page as a visitor.
