Pinli Help Guide

1. Go to Create a page. If you are new, create an account first. You can choose Solo or start a seven-day Pro or Studio trial during setup.
2. Enter an available Address. This becomes your pinli.co link. Choose a name related to you, your business, or your project.
3. Add a Display name. A short bio and social profiles are optional. You can edit them later.
4. Select Create my page. Pinli opens your page in the editor, where you can add blocks and change its appearance.

For a visual walk-through with real dashboard and editor captures, see Create your page with Pinli.

Each page card gives you a route back to Edit your page. The board also shows your page allowance and a recent views summary. Use the dashboard navigation for Analytics, Audience, and Settings.

A page card also has controls to change its address, duplicate, or delete the page. Changing the address breaks links and QR codes that use the old one. Duplicating copies its blocks and settings to a new address, but the copy does not inherit a custom domain or page password. Deleting a page asks for confirmation; check the address before confirming.

If you have more than one page, check the page name or address in Analytics and Audience before reviewing data or changing a setting.

1. Select the page name or bio to change the text. Select the photo circle to add or replace an image.
2. Use the rail at the bottom for Add block, Undo, Redo, and Theme & settings. The back control returns to your board.
3. Switch between desktop and phone above the page. Use Preview to hide editing controls and inspect the visitor view, then return to Edit.

Direct edits to your page save as you type. In the Theme & settings dialog, review the live preview and select Save changes to keep changes to those controls. If you close that dialog with unsaved changes, follow its confirmation prompt.

1. Select Add block on the editor rail. Browse the categories or search for the type of content you need.
2. Select a block to see its options and available sizes, then choose Add block in the dialog.
3. Select the new block on your page to add its content. Complete required fields before expecting the block to be useful to visitors.
4. Drag blocks to change their order. Resize from the bar below a block when that block supports another size.
5. Switch to the phone view and arrange the same blocks for smaller screens. Check both layouts in Preview.

A good first page usually needs a clear introduction, one primary link or action, and a way to contact you. Add more when it helps visitors make a decision. Packs add focused blocks for restaurant menus, appointments, music, stays, and other work. Locked choices show when your plan or pack does not include them.

1. Open Theme & settings from the editor rail and choose a theme as a starting point.
2. Use Background, Colors & type, and Cards & buttons to tune the appearance.
3. In Layout, choose the arrangement that suits your content. Bento can use separate desktop and phone arrangements; other layout choices have their own presentation.
4. Review the live preview at desktop and phone widths. Select Save changes.

The same dialog also contains Footer, Search & sharing, Privacy, and Analytics. Some themes, appearance controls, and custom CSS depend on your plan; Pricing lists the current feature differences.

Choose a template when you want a starting structure. Open each example block and add your real text, links, images, or other details. Remove blocks that do not fit your page; add others through the block library.

Some template pages start as an unpublished draft with a Page setup checklist. For each unfinished block, choose Add your content, then Enable completed block. You can also dismiss an unfinished block. Unfinished blocks stay hidden from visitors.

When the draft is ready, select Publish page. If you deliberately publish before every block is finished, confirm that unfinished blocks should remain hidden. A page made through the standard new-page flow may not show this template checklist.

1. Preview the page on desktop and phone. Open its links and check that images, text, and actions make sense.
2. If you started from a template draft, complete its Page setup checklist and select Publish page.
3. Check Privacy in Theme & settings. A password or other access setting changes what visitors see.
4. Make sure your plan is active. Visitor access depends on both publication state and plan access.
5. Use Copy link in the editor. Open that address in a separate browser session to check the public experience, then put it in your bio, email signature, or other channels.

You can continue editing content at the same address. If you use a template page, its Page setup panel also offers Unpublish page after publication.

1. Open Theme & settings → Search & sharing.
2. Write a specific Page title that names you or your work. If left blank, Pinli uses your page name.
3. Write a short Description of what visitors will find. If left blank, Pinli uses your bio.
4. When your page is ready to be found, turn off Hide this page from search engines and save.

New pages start hidden from search. Turning that setting off allows indexing, but search engines decide when and whether to show a page. It does not guarantee a search result or a particular ranking. Keep the page public, make its content useful, and link to it from places you control.

For your Pinli marketing link, our How it works, Create a page, Packs, and Examples pages give visitors more context about what they can build.

1. Open the page in the editor and find its custom domain control in the page settings.
2. Enter the domain you want to use. The dialog shows the exact DNS records for your chosen DNS provider.
3. Add those records with your domain provider, then return to Pinli and choose Check DNS.
4. After verification, allow time for the HTTPS certificate step shown in the dialog. Check the address in a separate browser session.

Each page can have one connected custom address. Provider instructions differ: Cloudflare can use an apex domain or subdomain, while other DNS providers use a www address with apex forwarding. Follow the records shown for your own domain rather than copying someone else’s values.

1. Publish your page and open Theme & settings → Privacy → Explore, or use an Explore invitation on your dashboard or Analytics page.
2. Choose a category, add an optional listing description and cover image, and confirm that you want a public listing.
3. Keep the listing accurate as your page changes. Use Manage Explore listing to update it or leave Explore.

Joining Explore is free. It adds an Explore link to your page footer while listed. It does not change your password or search indexing settings. If your page is not eligible, the dialog explains what needs attention.

Analytics

Open Analytics from the dashboard, then choose a page if you have several. Review views, daily unique visitors, block clicks, click rate, Explore visits, top blocks, traffic sources, countries, devices, and browsers. Choose a time range to compare activity; available history and CSV export depend on your plan.

To distinguish links you share in different campaigns, add a utm_source parameter to those links. Analytics groups those visits under Campaigns. Platform page links, when used, have their own breakdown.

Audience

Open Audience for subscribers, messages, bookings, and orders collected by eligible blocks. Use the page filter when you manage more than one page. Subscriber and message lists support CSV export. To send a newsletter, connect a supported newsletter provider from Audience; Pinli does not send a campaign from the page editor.

If a chart or list is empty, confirm the selected page and date range, then make sure the relevant block is enabled and has received activity.

Compare Solo, Pro, and Studio for page limits, analytics history, themes, custom domains, and other features. Pro and Studio offer a seven-day trial with a card required. Your selected plan renews automatically after the trial unless you cancel. If there is no active plan after a trial, visitor access to your page pauses until plan access is restored.

Open Dashboard → Settings to view your current plan, manage billing, and see your packs. Available packs can be added to a Pro subscription; Studio includes available packs. Pack changes follow the billing details shown in Settings.

Browse the Packs guide for restaurant, appointments, music, creator, stays, and nonprofit use cases. Shop and the Builder pack are coming soon; the Builder page currently explains the use case.

In Dashboard → Settings, change your full name, choose whether to receive a weekly summary of views and clicks, and review your account email. The email field is displayed there but is not editable.

Email sign-in links are always available. Under Security, select Set or change password to receive a link by email. Saving a new password signs you out on other devices. Under Privacy, set your account-level analytics preference.

Page-level privacy is separate: open that page’s Theme & settings → Privacy to manage its Explore listing, content warning, or password access if your plan includes it. Setting or removing a page password saves immediately.

My page does not open for visitors

Open its link in a separate browser session. Check whether a template draft still needs Publish page, whether your plan is active, and whether a page password or content warning is expected. If you changed the address, copy the current link from the editor.

My page is missing from Google

Check Theme & settings → Search & sharing. Turn off Hide this page from search engines, save, and make sure the public page opens. Search engines take time to discover and index pages; there is no instant listing switch.

A block or design option is locked

Open Pricing and Packs to see which plan or pack includes it. Some announced packs and blocks are still coming soon. If a template block says it needs setup, add real content and enable it in the Page setup checklist.

My domain does not verify

Compare the exact records in the domain dialog with your DNS provider, including any TXT verification record. Remove conflicting records and run Check DNS again after the provider updates. HTTPS setup follows DNS verification.

I cannot sign in

Use Log in with the email associated with your account. Check your inbox and spam folder for the sign-in link. If you set a password, you can use that; an email link remains another option.
