You can pick which one to view.&#039;&#039;<br /> #* If you want to rigorously test your intervention, you can choose &#039;&#039;&#039;Debug Mode&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> #*:&#039;&#039;This is best for advanced users as it allows you to force end sessions and view the source code created by Lifeguide.&#039;&#039;<br /> # Click &#039;Ok&#039;.<br /> #:[[Image:preview.jpg|750px|alt=Previewing a page.]]<br /> # Your intervention will open in your default browser.<br /> <br /> Using this function means you don&#039;t have to upload your intervention to the server, which takes a little longer to do. The Preview function is very useful, especially if you are writing complicated logic. It doesn&#039;t require an internet connection and you can use it regularly to check the intervention is working as you intend.<br /> <br /> N.B. If you want to check that emails and text messages are working, you will need to upload your intervention to the server. They will NOT work in preview mode.</div>
