Open the public page

In Settings › Identity select Public preview: the public page opens in a new tab. As staff you see the Staff view bar: the dashed cards are visible only to you and point to sections still to fill in.

Select See as a visitor.

Fig. 1Staff view also shows the sections still to fill in.

Choose who to simulate

The Preview bar appears at the top. From the menu choose the point of view: Parish parishioner (a user who already follows the community, the initial choice), General parishioner (registered but not following it) or Anonymous visitor (not registered).

The choice stays in the page address: if you reload, you see the same point of view.

Fig. 2Each point of view shows the buttons that person would see.

Try the buttons safely

In preview, actions are not carried out. For example, as Anonymous visitor the Follow the parish button only shows This is only a preview.

Fig. 3No preview action changes any data.

Check the followers’ view and exit

As Parish parishioner the main button becomes Open the faithful area, which opens the believer app in preview mode.

To go back to management select Exit in the Preview bar.

Fig. 4People who already follow the community see the way into the faithful area.

What you have achieved

  • You know what followers, registered users and visitors see on the public page.

Troubleshooting

I can’t see See as a visitor

The Staff view bar appears only if you have dashboard access to this community and are signed in.

I see “The action "Segui" is not available in preview mode.”

That’s expected: in preview the buttons show how they look, they don’t carry out the action.
