Publish and Share

Published July 25, 2026 • Updated July 31, 2026

Publishing turns a draft Flow into a live experience that can collect real submissions and leads. Set the reusable account handle under Settings → Profile, then use Finish & Publish to choose this experience’s friendly /flow/{handle}/{slug} or /bio/{handle}/{slug} link. Existing /q/{slug} links remain compatible.

Use this page when your quiz is built, tested, and ready for real traffic.

QuizFlow Labs publishing workflow showing Draft to Published status, public link actions, hosted page, embed widget, chatbot, submissions, and leads.

Publish from Finish & Publish, then share the hosted page, embed the quiz, launch it as a chatbot, or monitor submissions and leads.

What changes when published

Draft

You can edit, save, and preview the quiz internally, but the public link is not live for participants.

Published

The hosted page and share actions become usable, and live participants can complete the quiz.

Before you publish

Use this checklist before sending traffic to the quiz:

  • Confirm the quiz has at least one question block.
  • Confirm the account handle under Settings → Profile, then choose the Flow or Bio link name on Finish & Publish.
  • Preview the quiz and test the main path plus any routed paths.
  • Check the outcome message, CTA buttons or cards, their link or lead-form actions, and the Show submitted responses preference.
  • Review Appearance for hosted page, embed widget, chatbot, launcher, and styling behavior.
  • Know that Installation Code now lives in Finish & Publish, not inside Appearance.
  • Make sure lead capture is present if the goal is to collect contacts.
  • Open every referenced Content Page and confirm the intended revision is published.
  • Replace unresolved placeholders, sample organization names, privacy contacts, and example URLs.
  • Keep service contact, optional marketing, reminder, and privacy acknowledgement choices separate when they serve different purposes.
  • Confirm a Soft gate still provides the limited result promised to participants who skip contact fields.
  • Obtain legal, privacy, industry, or jurisdiction-specific review when the flow contains regulated, professional, or policy-sensitive content.
  • If the quiz came from a template, review its copied Content Pages and confirm every feature is included with your plan.

Sharing options

Step-by-step

  1. Open the flow and move through Intro & Bio Funnel, Build Flow, Outcomes, and Appearance.
  2. Use preview/testing to confirm the experience works before sending live traffic.
  3. Go to Finish & Publish.
  4. Confirm the read-only account handle. If it has not been created, follow Set account handle to Settings → Profile.
  5. Choose the link name. Bio-enabled experiences automatically use a Bio URL; all others use a Flow URL.
  6. Select Save public links, then use Publish to move the Flow from Draft to Published.
  7. After publishing, copy the Public link or select Open public view to inspect the hosted page.
  8. Copy Installation Code from Finish & Publish if you want to embed the quiz on your site.
  9. Share the account-scoped public link, paste the Installation Code on your site, or use chatbot presentation depending on your launch plan.
  10. After launch, review submissions, leads, and analytics from the dashboard.

Tips / Gotchas

  • A Flow needs a saved account handle and at least one scoped public link before it can be published from the final step.
  • Different accounts can use the same link name because the handle keeps each public namespace distinct.
  • Public link actions appear after the quiz is published.
  • You can unpublish a quiz if you need to pause live collection.
  • Published quizzes can still be edited, but major structural changes should be previewed before sending more traffic.
  • Embeds and chatbot behavior are controlled in Appearance, not by the publish button itself.
  • Installation Code is copied from Finish & Publish after the quiz has a slug and the presentation settings are saved.
  • If submissions increase but leads do not, check whether the flow includes a Lead Capture step and whether visitors can skip or route around it.
