A temporary preview link lets you share an inactive project with other people for review before you publish it live. An inactive project is a project that isn't published live. To get a temporary preview link, you first publish a preview of the project, not a live version. You then find the link in the Share project panel, under Temporary preview link.

A QR code opens your project on your phone: scan it with your phone's camera and the project opens in the phone's browser, so you see it the way visitors on a phone do. The QR code links to the same URL you would copy, so there is one code for the preview and one for the live version. You can show a QR code from the project page, from the Share project panel, and from the M menu in the editor.

Embed your project
Embedding a Maglr project
You can embed a complete Maglr project or a single page on another website by pasting an embed code from the project's Embed code tab into your website. A complete project is embedded with all its pages and, by default, a navigation so visitors can move between pages. A single page is embedded without navigation, so it fits into the layout of your web page. Opening the embed settings To create an embed code for a project: On the Projects overview, open the menu of the project you wantPopularEmbedding a single page
Embedding a single page places one page of your Maglr project on an external website, without the project's navigation. You create the embed code in the Embed code tab of the Share project window, choose how the page fits on the website, and paste the code into your website's HTML. Which embed type and ratio suit you depends on the page: for example, an infographic inside a blog article, or a page designed to fill the whole screen.

A multi-page embed places a complete Maglr project, with all its pages and a navigation to move between them, on another website. To embed only one page instead, see embedding a single page.

Automatic format (inject) is an embed type that adds a Maglr page directly into your web page as a web component, instead of loading it in a separate iframe. The page becomes part of your website instead of a separate framed document. The advantages are listed in Benefits compared to an iframe embed. Automatic format (inject) is available when you embed one specific page from a project. It is not offered when you embed the complete project withSome readersOverlay embed
The overlay embed places a banner on your website. When a visitor clicks the banner, your Maglr publication opens in a full-screen overlay on top of the web page. Because the publication scrolls inside its own overlay, its scrolling doesn't conflict with the scrolling of your website, which can happen when a full publication is embedded directly in a page (see embedding a multi-page publication).

You can see how your embeds perform in two places: on the Statistics page in your Maglr dashboard, and in your own Google Analytics 4 property or Google Tag Manager container if you connect one to the domain. Each embed code contains a hash, and you use that hash to tell embeds apart in both places.

To make an embedded page start only when visitors scroll to it, embed the page with Automatic format (inject). This embed type waits until the page enters the visitor's screen before it starts, so timed animations don't play before anyone can see them. You don't need to add an extra script to your website.

Gated content
Configure a content gate
A content gate shows a form over your publication on a page you choose. Visitors fill in the form to keep reading. Content gates are mostly used for lead generation, for content such as white papers, premium articles and magazines. Visitors can read the pages before the gate for free, so those pages can tell them what the rest of the publication offers. The gate can use a Maglr form, or a Hubspot, Marketo or Pardot form. A content gate is a lead-capture step, not access protection. To controlFew readersContent gate with form
A content gate with a form shows a form in an overlay on top of your project. Visitors can't move to other pages until they fill in the form, unless you let them close it.

A project published with Maglr is a static website that search engines can crawl and index. Maglr adds the technical SEO basics to every published page automatically: a sitemap, meta tags, structured data and a language declaration.

Maglr pushes page views and visitor interactions in a publication to the Google Tag Manager (GTM) data layer.

When you publish a Maglr project, every scene and element on the page gets its own HTML ID. In Google Tag Manager (GTM), you can use these IDs in an Element Visibility trigger to fire a tag when a visitor sees that scene or element, for example: a specific scene comes into view a specific element comes into view a pop-up opens (a pop-up is a scene, so it has a scene ID) the visitor reaches a certain point on the page (an element you placed there) This only works if GTM is installed onFew readersTrack embed events with GTM (inside your website)

UTM tags (also called UTM codes or UTM parameters) are labels you add to the end of a URL to record where visitors came from.
