How To Preview Your Silent Auction Before It's Live

In this article, we’ll show you how to preview your silent auction so you can verify all your items before promoting your page.

How to Preview Your Silent Auction

  1. After adding all your items, ensure the Show Silent Auction tab is disabled under Silent & Live Auctions — this keeps the auction hidden from donors while you review.
  2. From Auction Settings, copy the Page Link under Auction Webpage.
  3. Paste the link into a new browser tab to preview your auction.

Pro Tip: You can also preview your auction at any time by adding /auction to the end of your fundraiser's live page URL.

How to Go Live with Your Silent Auction

  1. Once you've verified your items, enable the Show Silent Auction tab to make the auction visible to donors.



  2. Display your auction on your fundraiser page using either or both of the following options:
    • Add an auction preview to your homepage — On your homepage, click the blue plus button and select Auction Preview.
    • Enable the Silent Auction tab in your header — Open the sidebar > Site Header and check Silent Auction under Links in Header.
