• Previewing a Page

  expand_more

  If a program has previously been integrated, even without a landing page on edX, the card within the catalog will redirect to an external page. In order to view the page in that case, we need to push the page live. Thus breaking the redirect and not allowing for the ability to preview

  For new catalog objects, we’re expecting internal pages by default so no redirects are set up. Thus we can preview the page, under secure preview, before pushing live.

• Deployment/Build Schedule
