how do you view your website online (not in the editor) when it is unpublished?

I unpublished our website so that it is not live. I did this once before and somehow got a link to view it online. I cannot remember how I did this.

I just unpublished it again, to take it off line, for viewing and editing purposes. I cannot find how to view the unpublished website online.

So the question is, how do you view your website online (not in the editor) when it is unpublished?

Hey @DAVEM1901, you can "preview" it in editor. If you go to 'online' and go to edit website it is an option in the upper right corner next to publish. It will show you exactly what the website looks like!

Thanks so much for the answer. I am very new to this thing and I am still learning about it and the features. Plus our group is not the typical online store.

We are a Master Gardener group with a plant sale once a year. This year because of this virus, we are trying it as an all online sale. So our experience even after the sale will be limited because our sale will last for five days and then we are done till next year. So there won't be a lot of time to tweak anything as we go forward. Pretty much just shooting from the hip.

So thanks again,.

how do I get to the editor? I can't find my unpublished store - it's still under construction. Thanks, JimBoBr4
