5. Save, preview and publish your tour listings
These four options are available to you on your tour page:
- Save as draft
- Preview
- Save and publish
- Save and unpublish
1. Save as draft
You can click on the button "save as draft" at the bottom of the page to create a draft tour listing.
Hereafter, you will be taken to your dashboard where a green bar will appear at the top of the page that reads "tour successfully created".
Your tour is now a draft and will remain in your dashboard, but it is not live on visitscotland.com until you press the button "save and publish".
2. Preview
You can preview your draft tour clicking on the yellow button "preview" to see how it will look on visitscotland.com before you publish it.
You can preview a tour in any of these two ways:
- At the bottom of the page with your tour, before you press the button "save as draft" or "save and publish"
- Go to "saved draft tour" on your dashboard, find the tour you wish to preview, click the blue button "actions" at the right-hand side of the tour listing, and select "preview"
3. Save and publish
Save and publish your tour listing to make it live on visitscotland.com. Listings will be live and visible on the website within 15 minutes.
You can save and publish a tour in any of these three ways:
- From the bottom of a new tour page - we highly recommend you preview your tour first
- From your dashboard - find the tour you wish to publish, click the blue button "actions" at the right-hand side of the tour listing, and select "publish"
- You can also publish expired or unpublished tours from your dashboard
Afterwards, a green bar with the text "tour was successfully updated with status published" will appear at the top of the page. Your dashboard status will change to published.
4. Save and unpublish
Save and unpublish your tour listing so it is no longer live on visitscotland.com. Saved and unpublished tour listings will remain in your dashboard and can be edited or published in the future.
You can save and unpublish a tour in any of these two ways:
- From the bottom of your tour page
- From your dashboard - find the tour you wish to unpublish, click the blue button "actions" at the right-hand side of the tour listing, and select "unpublish"
Your dashboard status will change to unpublished.
