The preview reflects your current onboarding setup, including the Additional Information questions your payees will be asked. Use it to confirm your configuration looks right or to get familiar with the payee experience. ### Who Can Use It: - **To open the preview from the invitation window:** you need permission to send invitations. - **To open the preview from the link in this article:** you only need a PaymentWorks account. #### Open the Preview from the Invitation Window 1. Go to **Vendor Master Updates \> Onboarding Tracker**. 2. Click **Send Invitation**. 3. Select a **Form Type**, if your organization uses more than one. 4. Click **Preview Guided Onboarding**. ![Screenshot 2026-10-02 at 9.45.40 AM](https://help.paymentworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-02%20at%209.45.40%20AM.png?width=670&height=331&name=Screenshot%202026-10-02%20at%209.45.40%20AM.png) The preview opens in a new window. ![Screenshot 2026-10-02 at 9.40.23 AM](https://help.paymentworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-02%20at%209.40.23%20AM.png?width=670&height=491&name=Screenshot%202026-10-02%20at%209.40.23%20AM.png) > **Note:** If your organization uses more than one form type, you must pick one before you can open the preview. The preview shows the experience for the form type you select. #### Open the Preview from a Direct Link 1. Click **[Preview Guided Onboarding](https://claude.ai/cowork/LINK)**. The preview opens in a new window. Click the **Copy Link to Share** button in the blue preview header bar.  ![Screenshot 2026-10-02 at 9.47.54 AM](https://help.paymentworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-02%20at%209.47.54%20AM.png?width=670&height=313&name=Screenshot%202026-10-02%20at%209.47.54%20AM.png) > **Note:** Preview links expire 365 days after they are created. If a link has expired, you'll see a message instead of the preview. Ask someone at your organization with permission to send invitations to generate a new link. #### Understand How the Preview Works - **See your current setup.** The preview always matches your organization's current onboarding configuration for the selected form type. If your setup changes, the preview updates to match. - **Try it without side effects.** No invitation is sent and no records are created when you use the preview. - **Keep your answers private.** Anything you enter in the preview is saved to your PaymentWorks account, not to the link. If you share the link with a colleague, they start with their own blank preview. #### Move Through the Preview Guided Onboarding adapts to each payee's answers. Some sections only appear based on responses given earlier in the flow, so the preview follows the same step-by-step path your payees take. To see later sections, answer the earlier questions the way a payee would. Your answers are saved, so you can pick up where you left off the next time you open the preview. > **Tip:** To see how the experience changes for different types of payees, go back and change your earlier answers. For example, choose a different tax classification or bank country. #### Related Article - [Send an Invitation to a Payee](https://help.paymentworks.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly9oZWxwLnBheW1lbnR3b3Jrcy5jb20va25vd2xlZGdlLWJhc2Uvc2VuZGluZy1pbnZpdGF0aW9ucy1hbmQtbWFuYWdpbmctb25ib2FyZGluZy1pbi1wYXltZW50d29ya3M%3D&ct=SEARCH&pid=7162195&cid=197290385733&t=c2VuZCBpbnZpdGF0aW9u&d=help.paymentworks.com&c=5&rp=2&ab=false&opcid=&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1822484931&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v4bTX1sUaOXuhCxNPRp-NjOQG456A&hsLang=en) - [Payee Knowledge Base](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Verification Process & Document Uploads](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#verification-process-document-uploads) - [Account Login & Updates](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#account-login-updates) - [Invoices & Payments](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#invoices-payments) - [Invitations & Customer Registrations](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#invitations-customer-registrations) - [Account Creation & Onboarding](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#account-creation-onboarding) - [Payee Profile](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#payee-profile) - [Manage Your Data](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#manage-your-data) - [Customer Table & Quick Connect](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#customer-table-quick-connect) - [Payment Methods & Bank Information](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#payment-methods-bank-information) - [FAQs](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payee-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Payer Knowledge Base](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Profile Manager](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#profile-manager) - [Platform Updates & Announcements](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#platform-updates-announcements) - [Sending Invitations & Reviewing Payee Status](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#sending-invitations-reviewing-payee-status) - [New Vendor Registrations & Updates](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#new-vendor-registrations-updates) - [Supplier & Invoice File Uploads](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#supplier-invoice-file-uploads) - [Payments & Invoicing](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#payments-invoicing) - [Training Videos](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#training-videos) - [SSO/Login & User Permissions](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#sso-login-user-permissions) - [Implementation & Configuration](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#implementation-configuration) - [Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/payer-knowledge-base?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions-faqs) - [Developer Portal](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/developer-portal?hsLang=en) - [Contact Support](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/contact-support?hsLang=en) - [Help Center](https://help.paymentworks.com/knowledge-base/how-to-use-the-paymentworks-knowledge-base) - [Contact Support](https://help.paymentworks.com/contactsupport) [![PW Logo\_light\_Green\_ White](https://help.paymentworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2026%20PaymentWorks%20Brand%20Guidelines/PW%20Logo_light_Green_%20White.png?width=200&height=34&name=PW%20Logo_light_Green_%20White.png "PW Logo_light_Green_ White")](http://paymentworks.com) Copyright © 2025, PaymentWorks
