Previewing your Build

Previewing allows you to review your content in Bookshelf online prior to making it available to customers.
Click Create Preview to launch the Bookshelf ingestion process. This may take as little as 2 minutes or longer, depending on the number of files in the queue.

While Bookshelf is ingesting your file, you will see an "in progress" animation. The ingestion process will take a few minutes. You can leave this page during the preview process, and your file will continue ingesting in the background.
