Public Guides
Guides are private by default. Only members of your Stedi account can use private guides.
When you make a guide public, your trading partners can view it as interactive web page and validate EDI documents against it instantly in their web browsers. Visit the Stedi Network for examples.
When a guide is public, anyone with the link can:
- View the guide web page
- Print the guide
- Troubleshoot EDI files using the EDI Inspector.
