Preview Draft Content#
To preview draft content and see how it would appear to members of different groups when it is released, follow these steps.
From a unit page in the Course Outline in Studio, select Preview.
A separate browser tab opens for the course in the LMS.
In the LMS, select one of the View this course as options, as described in Guide to Role-Specific Course Views.
The course view refreshes to present course content as it is currently configured in Studio, and as a learner in the selected group would see it.
Note
If you use randomized content blocks in your course, you cannot preview unpublished units that contain content from randomized content blocks, because the randomized content is not assigned until after the unit is published. For information about viewing the actual content that has been assigned to a particular learner from a randomized content block in a live course, see Specific Learner View.
