Review draft content in the app
While you work, you should periodically review your content to make sure that it's accurate and that the everything appears as expected. You can preview how your draft content looks in the Bloomberg Connects app using internal mode.
If you and your colleagues all need to review draft content, each person must log in to internal mode on their own device.
Tip: The app's internal mode is the best way to see the final visitor experience, but for fast internal reviews and layout checks, you can use the in-browser preview right from the CMS.
Review draft content during onboarding
You can review the formatting, layout, and overall experience of your content before you launch your guide.
For more on previewing draft content after launch, see the Review draft content after launch section of this article.
Note: During onboarding, your guide is completely hidden from visitors. Internal mode lets you preview all the content in your CMS—published content and draft content. To reduce confusion about what visitors will see when your guide launches, only add content to your home screen and map after it's published.
