Public Guides

Guides are private by default. Only members of your Stedi account can use private guides.

When you make a guide public, your trading partners can view it as interactive web page and validate EDI documents against it instantly in their web browsers. Visit the Stedi Network for examples.

When a guide is public, anyone with the link can:

• View the guide web page
• Print the guide
• Troubleshoot EDI files using the EDI Inspector.

​

Make a guide public

To make a guide public, click the ellipses (…) next to the guide and select Make public. You can revert a public guide back to private at any time.

​

Share public guide URL

After the guide is public, you can send its public URL to your trading partners and link to your guides from your own website. To copy a public guide’s URL:

• Click the public guide to open it in the guide builder.
• Click Actions.
• Click the icon next to View public guide to copy the guide’s public URL.

Published guide settings

You can use Published guide settings to customize the appearance of your public guides. These settings apply to all published guides.

To change your published guide settings:

1. On the guides overview page, click Published guide settings.
2. You can adjust the following settings:
   • Logo: If not specified, the guide displays your Stedi account name.
   • Company display name: If not specified, the guide displays your Stedi account name.
   • URL slug: If not specified, the slug is a hyphenated version of your account name.
   • (Optional) Include link: If set to ON, you can add a custom link to the top of each public guide. For example, you may want to link to a particular page of your company’s website.
   • If you include a link, specify the Link Label, which is the button text for your custom link and the Link url.
