# Preview Guides

> How to preview Pyne guides in your product

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

## Before Full Integration

If you haven't fully [connected user data](/setup/user-data) or finalized the [JS API integration](/setup/js-api) yet, you can still preview guides using our preview shortcuts.

*Refer to the separate [Detailed Preview Guide](https://www.notion.so/Previewing-Pyne-in-your-product-beebd96e0592432683bcaa4545354da4?pvs=21) 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](/essentials/publishing) or [Targeting Rules](/setup/targeting)) 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.
