Testing a Magnet before you share it
Test the public experience, not just the account-holder preview. A private browser window is useful for checking how the page behaves without relying on your signed-in owner session.
Use this checklist:
- Confirm that the Magnet is live.
- Open its public Magnet Link.
- Check the title and message.
- Enter an email address whose inbox you can access.
- Complete the 8-digit verification step.
- For a File Magnet, download and open the file. For a URL Magnet, choose Open link and check the destination.
- Test any QR code or website embed you intend to distribute.
An owner preview is not counted as a recipient download in the Weekly Digest. A real recipient-style test can create contact and activity records, so keep that in mind when interpreting early statistics.
If access fails, record the public link, time, browser, and exact message. Do not delete a Magnet as your first troubleshooting step.
Repeat the test after any significant replacement, URL-permission change, or branding update. Testing from a recipient's perspective can reveal permission problems and unclear instructions that are easy to miss while you are signed in as the account holder.
