Preview Links

Preview links let you share a live version of your course with anyone, no LMS required. Use them to get quick feedback from stakeholders, share work-in-progress with clients, or review your course on a different device.

Creating a preview link

Open your course in the Slate Builder
Click Publish in the toolbar
Select Preview Link
Click Create Link to generate a shareable URL
Copy the link and send it to anyone

You can also give each link a custom name (e.g., “Client Review - March”) to keep track of what each link is for.

Managing preview links

From the preview link panel, you can:

Copy the link URL to your clipboard
Open the preview in a new tab
Rename a link for easier identification
Update a link with the latest course content when your course changes
Delete links you no longer need

Each link shows when it was created and whether the course content has changed since the link was generated.

Content freshness

Preview links contain a snapshot of your course at the time the link was created. If you update your course after creating a link, the preview will show the older version until you click Update to refresh it with the latest content.

Branding

Preview links display a “Built with Slate” banner at the top of the course. Pro subscribers can share previews without Slate branding.
