Previewing and Publishing a Mobile App Experience

Previewing a Mobile App Experience lets you see how the experience is going to display on a mobile device. To preview a Mobile App Experience, edit the experience and then click Preview in the Experience Editor.

There are two options:

• Responsive Preview - Opens the experience in a new browser window for preview
• Get Shareable Link - Provides a preview URL so the preview can be shared with others.

The Shareable URL that is generated is valid for 72 hours.

Publishing a Mobile App Experience
