For editors with paid or authorised publishing access Updated 2 October 2026

Where

Workspace Preview Share and Publish changes

Move from a saved draft to a shareable public map.

Steps

  1. Wait for pending saves and open Preview to inspect all backgrounds and popups.
  2. Choose Publish changes when the layout is ready.
  3. Open Share and choose Copy link or Open viewer.
  4. For another website, choose Copy embed code and paste it into that site’s HTML or embed component.
  5. To withdraw access, choose Disable public viewer in Share.

Expected result

The project has a public viewer link and embeddable viewer using its published layout.

Tips and limits

The trial allows Preview but not public publishing. Public viewers intentionally expose eligible placed or geometry-linked records and enabled content, not the entire editor project. Geometry links, eye visibility, click-through, overlay styling, legend-count display and idle-orbit settings also require Publish changes. Disabling the viewer stops public access but retains the draft. If publication fails, read the reported invalid destination, missing background or access issue before retrying.

Effect on the published viewer

Publish copies the saved draft layout to the public version. Live records continue updating separately.
