Share Pages externally
April 20, 2021
Let your brilliant customized Pages shine out to the world! Admins can now create shareable Pages, just like other assets.

This includes expired content and Experiences.
Dynamic content filtering will not apply on Shareable Pages, so buyers will see all content included on the Page. Bring the power of your shareable Pages to your sellers, for Showpad Plus and Ultimate.
