1. Click the "Preview" button in the upper-left corner of your screen and choose the desired device (mobile, tablet, computer).
2. You can also select the "Preview" option in the slide-out menu next to the course or assessment on the left of your screen.

To test a complete training path, follow these steps:

1. Click the "Preview" button in the upper-left corner of your screen and choose the desired device (mobile, tablet, computer).
2. You can also select the "Preview" option in the slide-out menu next to the training path on the left of your screen.

Since learner 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

Does test mode always show the latest version of my course? Yes, the "Preview" button always shows the latest version. This is not necessarily the case if you take the course by logging in as a learner after having already started it: see I don't see my changes when I test my course.

Does using test options on Teach Up count toward learner licenses? No, no learner license is counted when using the test options on Teach Up.

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

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

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

Why are some parts of the training path inaccessible in test mode? Since learner data is not saved in test mode, certain sections conditioned on the validation of a previous step may be inaccessible. To test the entire training path, make all sections accessible. To test access conditions, deploy the training path in real conditions.
