Getting Started with LibGuides

Previewing a guide before its published
If you would like to see how your guide will look to the public, you can open a preview version. This allows you to get a glimpse of your guide, even while its Unpublished, without your own page views counting towards its statistics.

Once you've finished adding content to your guide, the last step is to publish it. Each new guide you create begins with a status of Unpublished, meaning that the public cannot view or search for it. In order to share your guide, you need to change its publication status to Published or Private.

• Published: your guide will be visible to the public and included on your LibGuides homepage and in search results.
• Private: your guide will only be visible to users who know its URL. It will otherwise not be included on your homepage or in search results.
