FAQ

How do I create a preview link?

Just edit any draft post/page — you’ll see a “Shareable Preview” metabox with a “Generate Link” button.

Can I change when links expire?

Yes! Set a global default in SDP Settings, or override per-link in the admin panel.

Are the links secure?

Yes. Each link uses a random 16-character token. Expired/revoked links show a clean “Link expired” message.

Does it work with page builders?

Yes! Works with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, etc.
