| Creating a Preview URL for a draft version of your dataset allows you to share your dataset (for viewing and downloading of files) before it is published to a wide group of individuals who may not have a user account on the Dataverse installation. Anyone you send the Preview URL to will not have to log into the Dataverse installation to view the unpublished dataset. Once a dataset has been published you may create new General Preview URLs for subsequent draft versions, but the Anonymous Preview URL will no longer be available. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I checked with @qqmyers and he said embargoed files are also available via preview URL so I updated this PR, which can be previewed here: https://dataverse-guide--11897.org.readthedocs.build/en/11897/user/dataset-management.html#preview-url-to-review-unpublished-dataset
