# [Preview Sharing] - Share a Preview

This page explains how to use the **Share Preview** feature in Contentstack’s **Visual Editor** to share preview links with stakeholders for review and collaboration before publishing. It is intended for teams managing content and approvals, and should be used when you need to collect feedback on changes in a secure, time-bound preview.

## Share a Preview

The **Share Preview** feature in Contentstack’s **Visual Editor** enables teams to preview content across devices and collaborate effectively before publishing. Stakeholders can visualize updates in real time, provide feedback, and ensure alignment with design and content goals—resulting in a smoother, error-free publishing process.

To share a preview, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/), and perform the following steps:

- Go to your [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack) where you want to preview and manage your website.
- In the left panel, click the **Visual Experience** icon. By default you would see the Timeline preview. Click **Editor** from the pill at the bottom to switch to **Visual Editor**.
- Use the website navigation menu or the **URL **bar to find the page you want to share.
- From the options available under the horizontal ellipsis, click the **Share** button.**Note**: The Share button requires **Live Preview SDK v3.2.0** or later. If you’re using an older version of the SDK, the sharing functionality will not be available.
- In the **Share Preview** modal that appears, add the following details:
  - **Invite User(s):** Add the email addresses of the users you want to invite.
- **Add a Note:** Provide optional instructions or details for the recipients.
- Click **Share** to send invitations.
- The recipients will receive an email with the **preview link**.
  **Note:** The preview link is valid for **7 days**.

The Share Preview feature simplifies content collaboration by providing secure, easy-to-share previews. With password protection and cross-platform support, teams can streamline feedback collection, enhance communication, and ensure a polished final product before publishing.
