This article demonstrates how to preview your courses, coaching products, and site pages across your Teachable school. Previewing your school and products provides you an opportunity to review what your site looks like from the student or clients perspective.
Preview your course
After you’ve created a course and added content, you'll likely want to preview it before having students enroll.
To preview your course, click one of the Preview options from your course Information tab. You will have the option to preview one of the following options:
- Your course sales page
- Your course curriculum
Sales Page
When you click the Sales Page option, your course sales page will open in a new tab. At the top of the page in the preview bar, you can select Preview as student or Preview as public.
For a course sales page, previewing as a student or as public are the same — there are no differences between how an enrolled student and a public viewer would view your course sales page.
To return to your course admin, click the Admin button in the top left corner of the preview bar.
To edit the sales page, click the Edit button in the top right corner. This will navigate you to the sales page editor.
Course Curriculum
When you click the Course Curriculum option, your course curriculum overview page will open in a new tab. At the top of the page in the preview bar, you can select Preview as admin or Preview as student.
- Preview as admin - You will be able to view all content, including published and unpublished sections/lectures.
- Preview as student - You will only see published sections/lectures. This is the view your students will see if they access the course curriculum page.
To return to your course admin, click the Admin button in the top left corner of the preview bar.
You can also preview your course curriculum at any time by clicking the Preview button at the top of the Curriculum page.
Preview your coaching products
When a client first enrolls in a coaching product, they will see the first milestone that you have created from your coaching Template page.
To preview what this initial milestone looks like to newly enrolled clients, click the Preview button that overlays the coaching thumbnail image from the left-side admin menu.
This will load a page that previews your coaching product from the client view. To return to your coaching admin, click the Admin button in the top preview bar.
Preview site pages
You are also able to preview any site pages across your school.
You can preview your site homepage at any time by clicking your school name in the top right corner of your admin menu.
This will open your homepage in a new tab. At the top of the page in the preview bar, you can select Preview as public or Preview as student.
When you preview your homepage in this way, Preview as public will display the “Logged Out” homepage you set from your Site > Navigation > Homepage Settings menu. Preview as student will display the “Logged In” homepage you set from your Site > Navigation > Homepage Settings menu.
NOTE: If you preview your homepage from your Site > Pages > Preview menu, you will not see the difference between the “Logged In” and “Logged Out” homepages. Preview as public and Preview as student will both display the “Logged Out” homepage view.
You can also click to any other site pages across your school from your navigation bar or footer to see the preview of other pages. To return to your school admin, click the Admin button in the top left corner of the preview bar. If the page you are viewing is editable, you can click the Edit button in the top right corner to navigate to the page editor for that page.
