Use preview environments

Share production-like URLs for QA before you promote a release.

Open a preview

Every pull request or draft publish gets a unique preview URL. Open it from the deploy detail page — do not reuse an old bookmark after a rebuild.

Share safely

Share the preview with stakeholders for content and UX review. Previews are not indexed; still avoid real customer PII in test data.

Environment variables

Preview and production secrets are separate. Sandbox payment keys belong on preview; live keys stay on production only.

Promote

When QA passes, promote from the same deploy record. Prefer promote over rebuilding so you ship the exact bits that were tested.
