How to test what your customers will see

Time to complete: 15–30 minutes
Prerequisites: Your Trust Center is designed and you're ready to test the full experience before going live

Before you share your Trust Center with real customers, test the complete flow yourself - invitation emails, authentication, NDA signing, and content access.

This is your dress rehearsal. Use it to catch issues before customers see them!

Two ways to test

Method 1: Send yourself an invitation (recommended)

Go to Share in your Trust Center.
Send a direct invitation to a test email address.
Open the invitation email and follow the full flow.
Test authentication, NDA signing (if enabled), and browsing content.

🚧
Use an email that’s NOT associated with your company’s Conveyor account.
To accurately test customer permissions and access, the email you use must not belong to anyone in your organization.
Try instead:

A teammate without a Conveyor account

A personal email address

For Google Workspace: append +test to your email (e.g., [email protected])

Conveyor Trust Center 'Share' modal open to the Direct Invitation tab. A yellow warning banner notes that the Trust Center isn’t published yet. The email input contains 'youremail+portaltest@companydomain.com.' Below are additional options for approval expiration, NDA bypass, and group memberships. — Use the Direct Invitation tab to send test invitations. Before publishing, invitations will point to your internal preview page for pre-launch testing.

Method 2: Use your draft link

In the Designer, open the Draft tab and copy the link next to Share Preview.
Open it in an incognito/private browser window.
Request access as if you were a customer.
Approve your own request (in your main browser).
Complete the flow in the incognito window.

⚠️
Your Share Preview link looks exactly like your Trust Center will to visitors so it's easy to mistake for your live site. Use it for testing and sign-off. Once you publish, share your live URL instead: copy it from the Published tab or click Share Live URL.

Common questions

What's the difference between Preview and Test?
Preview (Preview as... in the Designer) is for quick visual checks of what different visitors see. Test is the full end-to-end experience, including authentication, emails, NDA signing, and permissions.

Do I have to test before going live?
Technically no, but it’s strongly recommended. Catch issues now, not after customers are invited.

Can I test the NDA workflow?
Yes. When you send yourself a test invitation, you'll go through the entire NDA flow (if enabled).

What if I find issues during testing?
Fix them in the Designer, then test again. Repeat until everything works smoothly.

What's next?
