Portal Preview

Flo gives you two preview tools so you can check the fan portal before sharing it:

Fans never use preview. They sign in at https://myflo.link/{your-username}/login and see live data (their enrollments, purchases, memberships, and billing).

Live preview (Fan Hub)

The Live preview panel sits beside the Fan Hub form on wide screens (it stacks below the form on smaller widths).

Use Live preview to compare color choices and section toggles side by side. When you are happy, click Save changes so fans get the same branding.

Preview portal (full tab)

Start preview from Fan Hub

1. Set your username

   Preview portal stays disabled until you have a public username (Settings → Profile). Fans need that username in URLs too.

2. Save Fan Hub changes

   Click Save changes if you edited branding or visibility — the preview tab reads saved settings, not unsaved form state.

3. Click Preview portal

   On Fan Hub, click Preview portal (top right). Flo opens a new tab.

4. Browse the portal

   You land on portal Home at https://myflo.link/{your-username}/portal with a short-lived preview session (about one hour).

You must be logged into your creator dashboard in the same browser. Flo only grants preview to the account that owns that portal.

If you are not logged in, Flo sends you to login. If the username does not match your portal, Flo sends you back to Fan Hub.

Start preview from Membership Hub

To see the member experience (feed, posts, tier, classroom links), open the program in Membership Hub and use either:

Both open the same preview flow, but land on My Membership for that program:

https://myflo.link/{your-username}/portal/membership?membership={program-id}

Flo loads a preview membership using your program’s first active tier (featured tier first, then display order) so you can scroll posts and benefits as if you joined — without creating a test fan account.

What preview mode looks like

While preview is active, the portal uses a stand-in fan profile:

You will see those labels in the sidebar under your logo. Real fans see their own name and email.

Home and library sections

Empty library pages still show normal empty copy (for example No courses yet).

Privacy & data

On Privacy & data, Flo shows a banner:

Preview mode — privacy actions are disabled.

Export and account-deletion controls are turned off in preview so you do not trigger real privacy jobs while testing.

Membership page without the hub link

If you open .../portal/membership during a general preview without ?membership=..., you see the public join experience (available tiers), not the member feed. That is expected — use View live from the hub for the feed preview.

---

Preview vs live (for fans)

After preview expires, visiting the portal again without a fan login sends you to the sign-in page — same as any visitor without a session.

Recommended testing workflow

1. Edit in Fan Hub

   Adjust branding and Sections toggles; watch Live preview for quick layout checks.

2. Save

   Click Save changes → Portal settings saved.

3. Preview portal shell

   Preview portal — check Home, sidebar, colors, and hidden sections on desktop and phone width.

4. Preview membership (if you run a program)

   Membership Hub → View live — confirm feed, posts, tier benefits, and directory (if enabled).

5. Test as a real fan (optional)

   Sign in with a personal email at https://myflo.link/{your-username}/login, or join a free test tier, to verify counts, downloads, and billing.

Troubleshooting

What's next?

• Portal branding — identity, colors, welcome message
• Portal visibility — Courses, Products, Bookings switches
• Fan library — what fans see inside each library page (live data)
• Membership portal — member-facing flows after join
• Membership Hub overview — publish posts and use View live
• Fans list — fans who have actually signed in (not preview)
