See your course the way students will, including quizzes, without saving any progress.
AcademyFor: Account owner, Workspace admin, Editor, Viewer
When you're done, you've walked through your course as a student would, before anyone else sees it.
Who can do this: anyone on your team who can open the course.
Open the preview
Open the course and click Preview at the top. The preview opens in a new browser tab.
- The preview shows the working copy: everything you've saved, published or not. Once the course is published, See what students see now (1) switches to the published version, and See the working copy switches back.
- Lessons open as they would for a student. If the course's lessons open in order, later lessons stay locked until you complete the required ones before them: click Mark complete at the bottom of a lesson to move on.
- Try the quiz lets you take a lesson's quiz and see your score (without its time limit). Passing it here doesn't open the next lesson: for a quiz students must pass, click Preview: mark the quiz as passed to move on.
- The tutor panel (2) shows which Chirp answers on each lesson. You can't chat with it in the preview: see Give a course an AI tutor.
- Nothing is saved. Reloading the preview starts again from the beginning.
The arrow at the top left takes you back to the editor.
