Limited to users with "Restricted Editor" or group editors roles.
This feature is only available on pages that have not been previously published. Once a page page has been published, it can no longer use this feature.
It is sometimes necessary to share unpublished content with people who do not have accounts in Drupal. In these cases, you can create an unpublished access link to share with them.
To generate an access link:
- Edit the page
- In the sidebar, open the Temporary Unpublished Access section
- Select a reasonable lifetime for your new token depending on your needs
- Select Generate to create the new access link
- Select Copy to copy the link to your clipboard
- Paste and share the link with anyone needing to see the unpublished page
A few things to note:
- This tool is only visible if an available draft can be shared.It will NOT be available on new pages that have not yet been saved.
- Similarly, if a draft version is unavailable, the token URL does not work but returns 403 errors instead.
- The existing links will work again if a new draft is available and the token hasn't expired.
- The version displayed with this token link should always be the most recent draft. Disregard the "Latest Version" tab at the top.
