How to Preview Internally Without Affecting Analytics

You can review a Storydoc internally without adding false views by using Preview or Test the link. Neither option affects analytics.

Steps to Preview Without Affecting Analytics

  1. Open Your Story in the Editor
    From your dashboard, click on the story you want to review.

  2. Use the Preview Option
    In the top-right corner of the editor, click Preview.
    This opens the story in preview mode, which does not record any views in analytics.

  3. Test a Link
    If you want to see exactly how the shared version will look, click Share and then Test the link.
    This generates a viewable link for testing that won’t log analytics data.

  4. Avoid Opening the Public Link
    Opening the public link yourself will count as a view in analytics. Always use Preview or Test the link when checking internally.

Additional Notes

  • Previewing is best for layout, design, and content checks before sharing with recipients.

  • Test links allow you to simulate the shared experience, including animations and interactions, without tracking it in analytics.
