The Share step opens once the audio is ready. Voice admins and communications managers make links.
The listening link
One link plays the whole newsletter. Anyone with the link can listen without signing in, even when the newsletter’s audience is Internal. Withdrawing the link, or recalling the approval, stops it.
- Copy newsletter links copies the links ready to paste into your newsletter. The screen shows what will be pasted.
- Preview listener page opens the page your readers see.
- Section links each play just one part, for linking from a single story.
- Options sets how many days the link lasts and adds a button to the page, such as “Read the full issue”. New links start with the options you used last time.
Availability
- Available from: links don’t play before this. Blank: as soon as a link is made.
- Available until: links stop playing at this. Blank: until withdrawn.
- Issue date: the date this issue is for, shown on the listener page.
Times are in your own time zone, and save as you change them, even after approval. “Available until” can’t be before “Available from”.
Status
Each link says whether it’s Live, Scheduled (waiting for its Available from time), Expired or Withdrawn.
Plays
The library’s Plays column, and the stats on this step, count how many times playback started, how many listened to the end, and which sections people played. They don’t count unique listeners.
