Updated Feature: Quickly Switch Between View Modes
Your Shop Local Store has an updated feature: You can now change your page view to view your Store as a customer without logging out of your account.
Your Shop Local Store has two view modes:
Admin Mode
This mode is designed for administering your account. You can perform functions unique to owning your account, such as adding, editing, and deleting content.
Public Mode
This mode is designed to see your account as a customer sees it or for use while sharing your account with a customer while in your store or showroom. It hides editing capability and wholesale pricing.
Your current view mode will be shown at the bottom right of the screen:
If your account is in Admin Mode, you'll see a purple "You are in Admin View" button. If you hover over this button, the button will change to a blue "Go to Public View" button. If you click this button, you can switch your account to Public Mode.
If your account is in Public Mode, you'll see a blue "You are in Public View" button. If you hover over this button, the button will change to a purple "Go to Admin View" button. If you click this button, you can switch your account to Admin Mode.
This allows your store to go back and forth between view modes without logging out of your account.
With this update, you can also now see your store's home page as a customer with the click of a button. This helps your business more easily see what customers may see.
Please follow the steps below to view this feature:
Log in to your Shop Local account.
Hover over Admin at the top right of the page.
From the drop-down menu, click See my Store's home page as a customer. This will open your Store's home page in Public Mode in a new tab.
