This feature allows you to preview an entire activity, which is useful throughout the development and revision process. To preview an activity:

1. Click Preview Activity from the top of the Activity screen. To change the interface, click the drop-down arrow and click Interface to open a dialogue box with a list of interface selections available to you. The activity opens in a new browser window using the selected interface, glossary (if one was selected), and emulation (device type). Note: Click Tag Filtering to include/exclude screens with specifics tags. A checkmark displays when tags are selected.

Note: All new projects have the Default Interface automatically available. Other interfaces can be assigned by an Administrator in the Interface Management section.
