Preview and troubleshoot the client portal

Test workspace and client views and diagnose missing access, records, branding, or pages.

Written by Geoff Mina

Preview the portal from both the workspace and client perspectives, then use a consistent checklist when something is missing.

Preview in three places

  • Appearance preview: Compare login and home views in light and dark mode while branding.

  • Client preview: Use Preview from Clients → Portal access to inspect a particular client's configuration.

  • Live portal: Select Open portal to test the exact domain, login screen, and responsive layout.

The live portal is the final check for domain, branding, and sign-in behavior.

When a contact cannot sign in

  1. Confirm the contact has a valid email address.

  2. Confirm portal access is enabled for that contact.

  3. Confirm the contact is using the same email address stored in Moxie.

  4. Confirm the active portal domain reports a ready status.

  5. Try a fresh magic link if a previous link has expired.

When a section or record is missing

  1. Check whether the feature is enabled in the workspace defaults.

  2. Check whether the client has a custom feature override.

  3. Check the visibility or sharing status of the individual record.

  4. For a custom page, check its audience and Visible in portal setting.

When branding looks wrong

Save the latest appearance changes, test both themes, and compare the built-in preview with the live portal. A cached image can take a moment to refresh after replacement.
