Testing guides is essential before making them live. Pyne offers different preview methods:

​
Before Full Integration

If you haven’t fully connected user data or finalized the JS API integration yet, you can still preview guides using our preview shortcuts. Refer to the separate Detailed Preview Guide for instructions on using these shortcuts. (Setup time: approx. 3 min)

​
After Full Integration

Once Pyne is fully integrated into your application, the easiest way to preview a specific guide (regardless of its Publishing Status or Targeting Rules) is by using a URL query parameter:
  1. Get the Guide ID for the guide you want to preview (you can find this in the URL when editing the guide in the Pyne dashboard, e.g., .../guides/GUIDE_ID_HERE).
  2. Append ?pyne-guide-id=GUIDE_ID_HERE to the URL of the page in your application where the guide should start. Example: https://yourapp.com/dashboard?pyne-guide-id=8e97726c-9db8-42d7-8bcd-784bed509877
  3. Load the URL in your browser. The specified guide should start immediately.
This method allows you to test any guide directly in your integrated environment. (Setup time: < 1 min)
