Every project creator goes through it: as it comes time to click "Launch" and send their Kickstarter out into the wild, everything gets double- and triple-checked. The description gets read and re-read, the video gets watched and re-watched, and each reward gets tweaked until it's perfect. But sometimes what's really needed is a fresh pair of eyes.
To help with that, today we're introducing a new feature for project creators called the Preview Link. Activating the Preview Link allows you to share your project with friends and collaborators before you launch. Want to be certain that your video is solid and that your rewards are just right? The Preview Link lets you get reassurance from the people you trust.
To activate, click "Get preview link" at the top of your project preview while making your project.

You'll see a link to your project, which you can copy and send to whomever you like. The link isn't password protected, so it's very easy to share with friends. If you want to turn off your preview you can do that with the "Disable preview link" button too. Toggle on and off at will.

We hope this feature will make the project creation process even easier, and allow your friends and community to become a part of your project even earlier. Thanks!

Another awesome feature that I'd wished for.
So excited for this one!
You guys keep adding new, practical and sensible features. Well done.
Fantastic, can't wait to launch my next project(s)
Wonderful addition.
Perfectly timed for me. Thanks.
WOOT! nicely done, nicely done.
Yes another wonderful feature that I have wanted. I am loving all the new tools kickstarter is adding to make it better.
Love it. A really great idea and something I'm definitely going to use!
Perfect!
Great idea! THX! Right now, I am using my entire campaign developing prototypes - videos - trying to "get it right" - any chance for a small anonymous rating (1 to 5) button ? to get feedback, and perhaps comment field like this one?
Oh wow, I saw that preview button, but thought it was just limited to me!
Sounds good, but how about going further and allowing an explicitly public preview, and adding them to the discover pages?
Will people be able to see the actual project from this same link once the project launches?
Hi Lynn, great question. Once you launch your project, the preview link will redirect to your live project.
