      2. You can also select the "Test" option in the slide-out menu next to the course or assessment on the left of your screen.

      2. You can also select the "Test" option in the slide-out menu next to the training path on the left of your screen.

      Since participant data is not saved in test mode, some parts of the training path that depend on the validation of a previous section may be inaccessible.

      Recommendation: To test the full training path, it is advisable to make all sections accessible. To test access conditions, it is best to deploy the training path under real conditions.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Why does an error message appear when testing content in a course, assessment, or training path? An error message may appear if the designer, who also has a participant account with the same email address, has been excluded. Although tests do not use a license, Teach Up does not allow testing of participant experience if an exclusion has been detected. For more information, refer to the article on participant management or contact support at support@teachup.com.

      Are tests on Teach Up saved in participant data? No, tests are not recorded and will not appear in participant data or dashboards.

      Can the participant experience be tested on different devices? Yes, tests on Teach Up allow you to preview the participant experience on various devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, or computers.

      Why are some parts of the training path inaccessible in test mode?
