Once a screen has been saved, you can preview it in a separate browser window. Viewing screens in the Preview window is the same as viewing screens in the actual courseware (media appears in Preview once it has been uploaded and added to each screen. See Add Media to Screen for more information).

1. From the Topic screen, click the Preview icon beside the screen you wish to view. Note: The Preview settings already selected at the Activity level are assigned to the topic screens. The screen automatically launches when you click the Preview Screen button on the Screen Details screen. Otherwise, a dialogue box appears prompting you to select an interface.

Note: On graphic screens where no graphic is available, the Media Description is displayed in Preview.

2. When you have finished previewing a screen, click the browser's Close button.

Note: When previewing individual screens using the Storyboard Interface, the functioning screen is rendered in the browser rather than the storyboard layout used in the Storyboard Report or when the whole activity is opened in the Storyboard Interface.

Tip: To see the media size and filename at the top of the media area in Preview, click anywhere onscreen, then use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Alt+Shift+S.

3. From the Screen List screen, click the Preview Topic button. Use the drop-down arrow to customize the interface, glossary, and emulation setting for the topic. See Preview Activity for more information.
