Design and share a devotional

Review the reading experience before giving it to others.

What you’ll work toward

Review the reading experience before giving it to others.

Review the plan

Open the devotional and use the day navigation to inspect each reading. Check the progression, scripture, reflection and response. Read it as a participant: can someone understand the day without knowing the sermon that inspired it?

Use the design and publication preview controls to choose a presentation that supports reading. Check contrast, artwork, line breaks and the cover on a small screen. Avoid artwork that implies an event or person that was not part of the source.

When the content and presentation are ready, open the sharing controls and review the destination and visibility shown there. Test the resulting reader experience before sending it to a group. Keep the project available for corrections.

Review the devotional plan. Read the days in sequence and check scripture, reflection, response, and small-screen layout.

Check the reader’s journey

For a sample five-day plan, open each day in order and ask whether a reader can understand it without the previous sermon. Check that the cover title matches the content and that the reading text remains clear over any artwork. Preview on a phone as well as a larger screen.

Before sharing, open the resulting reader experience and follow the same path as a participant. If a link is intended for a restricted audience, check the visibility shown in the sharing controls and test access accordingly. If you revise the text after sharing, check the current reader again. See Create a devotional.

Check the reader and visibility. Review the destination and visibility in the sharing controls, then test the reader experience.

Screens show an example devotional; controls can vary by project.
