Preview your course

Preview builds the same package the export would, then opens it in a new tab so you can check it before downloading anything.

Steps

  1. Click Preview in the bar with the course steps, at the top of the builder. It is there on every step. The button is greyed out until at least one lesson has content.
  2. A new tab opens with the course as the LMS will show it.
  3. Work through lessons the way a learner would, including quizzes.
  4. Close the tab and go back to the builder to make changes.

You can also preview a single lesson while editing it, with Save and preview in the lesson editor.

The preview tab looks like the exported course, but saves no progress.

What you should see

The preview looks and behaves like the exported course. No progress or score is saved - it is only there for you to check the content. The bar at the top saying so, and its Close button, are in the course language.

If something goes wrong

  • "The preview cannot be built yet": the same problems that block export block the preview, for example a lesson that reports nothing to the LMS. The preview page lists what to fix.
  • The preview looks outdated: it is rebuilt every time you click Preview, so make sure you saved your latest changes first.
