🧭 Before You Start

  • You should be working from a Draft you intend to test

  • The Demonstration / UAT site must already exist

  • Publishing to UAT does not affect production users

If you are unsure whether you should update or create a new template, pause and confirm first.


🎯 Why This Matters

Publishing to a Demonstration (UAT) site lets you validate workflow changes—questions, routing, logic, and usability—without impacting live users.

This step is strongly recommended before any production release.


🛠️ How to Publish to a Demonstration (UAT) Site

  1. Open ANVL Insights

  2. Navigate to Mobilize → Editor

  3. Open Drafts in the left-hand menu

  4. Locate the workflow draft you want to test

  5. Click the Publish (🚀) icon next to the draft

  6. When prompted, choose:

    • Update (default) to update an existing workflow

    • (Only choose Create Template if you intentionally want a new workflow)

  7. Select the Demonstration / UAT site from the group list

  8. Click Publish


✅ What You Should See After Publishing

  • The workflow appears under Published

  • It is visible when the Demonstration / UAT site is selected in the Group Selector

  • Production sites remain unchanged


🔍 Verify the UAT Publish

After publishing:

  1. Refresh the browser page

  2. Open Published

  3. Select the Demonstration / UAT site in the Group Selector

  4. Open the workflow

  5. Confirm the latest changes appear


What to Do Next

After publishing to UAT:

  • Complete and test the workflow end-to-end

  • Validate routing, question behavior, and usability

  • Make additional edits if needed
