Permanent Links

The Publish page also provides a permanent link to your tool. You can give this link to people who need to see the tool without having to publish the tool on your website.
 
Publish page with the permanent link.
 
Click the link and your tool will open in a new window.
 
Viewing a tool in its own window.
 
One useful technique of this permanent link is to open the tool in its own window for easy previews of changes made in other areas of Web Ministry Tools. For example, create a directory and open it using the permanent link. Back in the Web Ministry Tools site, go to the tool's options page. Adjust the number of navigation groups and save your changes. Refresh the preview window and you'll immediately see the effect of your changes.
 

Using the Permanent Link to Test a Tool

We highly recommend using the permanent link to test a tool before publishing it to your website.
 
In this way, you can check that the tool is working and looks as you expect. If possible, try opening the permanent link in different Web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.) to have a better idea of how a variety of people will see the tool in action.
