Publish and share an experience

Publish an experience, choose its link, share it with your hosts and learners, and publish changes later.

Written by Cody Iddings

Learners can join an experience only after it's published. Publishing puts the current version live at a link you choose, and you share that link with your hosts and learners.

Publish an experience

  1. In the Content tab, click Publish.

  2. In the Publish dialog, edit the end of the link, after app.makeshapes.com/s/. You can use letters, numbers and dashes.

    Caution: You can't change the link after you publish, so choose it carefully.

    The editor with the Publish dialog open, and the link field highlighted, ready to customize.
  3. Click Publish. The Share dialog opens with the link, ready to copy.

Share the link

To find the link again, click Share, next to Preview. Copy the link, and send it to your hosts and learners.

If you're an External Learning Provider, you can also make a separate link for each client. See how to share specific links with clients.

Publish changes

Changes you make after publishing aren't live until you publish them. When there are changes, a Publish changes button appears where Publish was. Click it, then click Yes, publish changes.

Each time you publish, Makeshapes saves a Published backup in version history. It shows the name of the team member who published it, and you can go back to it later.
