How to start my Auction.
Your Auction will start automatically at the time you set! Before your Auction starts you need to make sure you set it to Public. All campaigns are automatically set to private when they are created.
How to publish my Auction
You can easily publish your campaign by following these three steps:
1. From the dahsboard, head to Auctions and click Manage on the campaign.
2. Click on Settings in the left sidebar.
3. Change the visibility from "Private" to "Public" or "Restricted"
When the Auction is Private, it's only visible to you and to logged-in team members.
When the Auction is Public, it will be visible to anyone that visits your profile page or has the link. Note: bidding won't begin until the Auction start date, so this can be a great way to preview your items.
When the Auction is Restricted, it will be visible to anyone that has the link but won't be accessible from the main profile page.
Please Note: You can still modify things or even un-publish your Auction at any time.

How to launch my Auction ahead of taking bids.
Bidding for your Auction will begin at the start time that you set. You can share your Auction page before bidding starts.
Potential bidders will see the details of the Auction items, but not be able to bid.
Essentially, all you have to do is change the visibility setting from Private to Public (or Restricted). To do this follow the steps outlined above. Once you have updated the Auction's visibility it will then be visible to the public, but won’t accept bids until the Auction's start time.
