Previewing your email to see how the content displays across other devices and sending a preview email are important for quality assurance before sending your email. It's a last opportunity to identify layout issues, formatting errors and unintended content.

Preview Mobile & Desktop Views

In the content editor, you can preview how your email appears on both desktop and mobile devices by switching between views.

To change views, use the view drop-down in the top-right corner:

  • Mobile narrows the preview window to simulate a mobile screen. Content may shift or stack to fit the smaller display.
  • Desktop restores the preview window to a wider layout for larger screens.

RECOMMENDATION: Before sending your email, review it in both Mobile and Desktop views to identify and resolve any layout or display issues.

Send a Test Email

To send a preview email to yourself or a set of reviewers, follow these steps:

  1. In the top right corner, click Next to move from the "Content" step to the "Preview and Test" step of creating your email.
  2. Click the envelope icon on the left. 
  3. Add the email addresses for any individuals you want to receive a preview.
  4. Select the Sender Profile for your department.
  5. Click Send Test.

Note: do not be alarmed if you see the following at the bottom of your preview. It will not be visible when it is a "real" send.  It will only show the link to Unsubscribe.
