# Share preview link

When working with an unpublished theme or better known as a draft theme, you can send out a ***Share preview link*** which allows anyone who has the link to preview your work/site. Share preview links expire after a certain number of days and are randomly generated by Shopify.

{% hint style="success" %}
This is a great tool for getting feedback from anyone who needs to view your site before it's live or to view a concept version of your existing site
{% endhint %}

Copy **this** link to send to our Support Staff - Not the URL in your browser:

#### Notes

Share preview links expire after a certain number of days and are randomly generated by Shopify.&#x20;

If you're using a live published theme, the preview option will appear as View. This indicates you are currently on the live site. A Preview share link can only be created from a draft theme which is not published.&#x20;
