Is the option to share an edited version of a design now gone?

Before the latest design tool update with the “Continue Your Design” popup, I could make a change to a design and then use the share dialogue to copy a link that would open in the edited version of the design without publishing it as a new product. This feature came in handy for assisting customers who needed a very small tweak to a design. But with the new popup, I can’t seem to make this trick work anymore. Like there’s no way to get back to the product page with the edited version.

Am I missing something, or has this feature been removed? 

I think I may have answered my own question. Looks like the only way to get to the product page with the edited version is to add it to your cart. Seems like a clunky and confusing work-around - especially if I’m trying to get a customer to send me their customized version so I can see whatever issue they might be having.

It would be super helpful if we could access the share dialog from within the new design tool.

If it’s for occasional use, I can do it from the mobile version in my browser by copying the URL or using a QR code.

But how do you get back to the product page while still keeping your edits?

I just tried on this keychain. I made a simple edit (changed the background color on the front to purple) - and then on the Review tab I clicked Share from upper right

and then Copy Link

link to edited version

And that link works for me as me in Firefox and also as a guest in an anon browser (Opera), for going to the edited version. I didn’t worry about going back to the first tab with the orig product page on it, just clicked to edit, got the link, and closed whatever tabs that opened LOL.

P.S.
After this little test I now have 8 saved versions of this. Eight!

I just murdered one of your wedding invites to test editing and sharing as a customer. 
Review –> Share –> Copy Link worked.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but if the design is in your saved designs, it should stay there. That’s how I’ve always done it. I haven’t checked on my computer, and I don’t have it with me right now. I haven’t had that problem.

Where are you finding the link to the share dialog on the review tab? I’m not seeing it…

This link shows your edits… I wouldn’t call it murder… just an interesting twist!  :wink: I still can’t find the link to open the share dialog though.

Bwahahahaha! 😂

It’s on the very upper right. Try changing your window size and/or browser zoom level or maybe just dragging your whole browser window to the left. Depending on how I size and position my browser window, that Share option can be off-screen and out of sight. 

Hmmm… well, it seems like it’s a browser issue. If I’m in Chrome or Edge I can’t get the link to matter what I do, but if I’m in Firefox it shows up. No clue what that means. Hopefully a Moderator will see this and chime in.

That’s a good thought, but I’m not using an ad blocker. Perhaps Zazzle just doesn’t like me…  :face_savoring_food::thinking::sob:

I needed to help a customer today so I tried again, and now I can’t get the link to the share dialog to appear in any browser.
