  • If you find more locked references inside, decide whether to make those visible too
  • Use breadcrumbs to navigate back and review other items
  • Simply click the hide button on a reference that you have made visible to hide it's content again

4. Publish your view

Make any adjustments to your content in Tana and the preview updates live as you work. Once you're satisfied with what's visible in the preview, click the blue Publish button at the bottom.

  • Your link is automatically copied
  • Your content is now live
  • Anyone with the link can access it
Click Publish button when content is ready.

Success! You've published your Tana View.
