The Finale Step To Publishing Your Document
Quality assurance goes beyond checking the visual design; it ensures every interactive element functions correctly and that the document behaves exactly as intended for your audience.This stage ensures every page looks right, every interactive element behaves as intended, and your document is fully optimised for analytics, security, and user experience.
1. Reviewing Your Document for Accuracy and Functionality
Before publishing your document, it’s essential to carry out a thorough review to ensure everything works exactly as intended.
This should include:
- Clicking through every interactive layer to ensure it has been set up and linked correctly.
- Testing navigation, video playback, assessments, pop‑ups, polls, and links.
- Ensuring your content is optimised for Analytics, so insights are easy to interpret once the document goes live.
Clear naming conventions make a huge difference when analysing user behaviour, so labelling is a critical step.
2. Labelling Interactivity Layers for Analytics
Properly labelled interactivity layers help you understand how your audience engages with your content.
Examples include:
- Renaming videos (e.g., “Welcome video” instead of “Play video file 1”).
- Giving links meaningful labels such as “Data protection policy”.
- Naming assessments clearly (e.g., “Induction policies knowledge check”).
- Labelling polls (e.g., “Onboarding guide feedback poll”) and adding a heading that users will see.
These small optimisations make your analytics easier to interpret and ensure precise tracking across multiple pages.
3. Renaming Pages for Clearer Insight
Meaningful page titles give you instant clarity on:
- Which pages receive the most attention.
- Where engagement drops.
- How users move through your content.
You’ll also see a Title field used for Accessibility mode. While this doesn’t affect analytics, it ensures an inclusive reading experience.
4. Exporting Your Document
Once your content is reviewed and labelled:
- Click Home, then Update Document.
- If your document contains stock images, you’ll be prompted to license them.
- Getty Images are included in your PageTiger subscription, so licensed images incur no additional cost.
- Once exported, you can preview the updated version on the Document Dashboard.
5. Version Preview: Test Your Document as a Reader
Before publishing, view your document exactly as your audience will experience it:
- Test navigation and scrolling
- Play embedded videos
- Complete quizzes and polls
- Check that all interactivity layers are aligned and working
If anything needs adjusting, simply return to TigerDesigner, make your edits, and export again.
You can also generate a temporary version link for stakeholder review without making the document publicly available.
6. Understanding Your Document Settings
Your document settings control how your content looks, behaves, and is accessed. This includes:
-
Details: Manage document name, storage location, and URL.
-
Style: Control layout behaviour, appearance on different devices, and global design settings.
-
Language: Define the language used for system‑generated prompts and messages.
-
Menu: Add a custom menu bar to give your document a microsite-style experience.
-
Domain Name: Choose the domain your document will publish on. A branded domain is selected automatically.
-
Analytics: Set the analytics rule that your document follows—preconfigured or custom.
-
Security Rules: Control who can access your content and what data is captured. This is crucial for compliance and accurate analytics.
7. Applying the Right Security Rule
Your Security Rule determines the level of data PageTiger can capture. If your document is set to unrestricted access, PageTiger will only collect basic, anonymous analytics. When you apply Reader Login or Single Sign‑On, the platform can identify individual users and provide detailed, user‑level analytics.
To accurately measure engagement, it’s best to use a Security Rule that verifies each reader. Single Sign‑On (SSO) is the most seamless option, offering secure access and precise reporting, making it ideal for internal documents such as onboarding guides.
8. Publishing Your Document
When you’re ready to publish your document, go to Manage Version and select Publish. You’ll then be prompted to confirm or update your Security Rule. From there, you can choose to publish the document immediately or schedule specific publish and unpublish dates.
Once published, you’ll receive two types of links. The Document Link always points to the latest published version, while the Version Link remains fixed to a specific version—useful for audits, reviews, or referencing historic content.
9. Viewing Analytics After Publishing
Once your document is live, you can measure its performance and track how your audience engages with it in PageTiger Analytics.
