Preview a draft of your page (CMS user)
Once you've created and saved a draft, you'll get an option to preview your content in the View tab.
Select the link to preview the draft of your page.
...
A login prompt may appear, but if you’re logged into the CMS, it will open up a preview of your page in a new tab.
You will know that the page is a draft because it will display the notification: Draft only and not yet published.
...

A share link will be created and you'll be taken to the View share link tab. Copy this link and email it to your stakeholders. This share link will automatically expire in 30 days.
...
This link will always display the latest draft of the content (not the state of the content at the point in time you created the share link).
For example, you create the share link at 9am but then continue editing your page and saving later drafts. If your manager clicks on the share link at 11am, they will see the latest version of the page with the edits you have saved up until 11am.
If you want to create a share link for a particular draft or point in time, you can do this in the Revisions tab
Select the Revisions tab of your page.
...
Find the revision you would like to share. Select the dropdown arrow and select Create share preview link.
...
You can now copy and send the link to any non-CMS users to view a draft of a page.
...
Share links are set to last for 30 days, however you can shorten or extend this in the Edit Share link tab.
...
Note that all share preview links expire after 30 days.
