Engage 360: Previewing an Interaction

Previewing is a great way to see the changes you've made to your interaction without publishing it. And with Engage 360, previewing is easier and more powerful than ever. You can preview how your interaction will look and behave on any device and orientation with responsive preview options.

Using the Preview Options

Use the buttons on the preview ribbon to do any of the following:

Close Preview	This closes the preview window and takes you back to wherever you were prior to previewing.

Edit Step	This closes the preview window and takes you directly to the step in your project that you were just previewing.
Device Icons	Click any of the five device icons in the upper right corner of the screen to quickly switch your preview to another device or orientation, including: Laptop/desktop computers Tablets in landscape mode Tablets in portrait mode Smartphones in landscape mode Smartphones in portrait mode With Engage 360, it’s super easy to see how your interaction will look and behave with the new responsive player on any mobile device and orientation.
Responsive Playback Properties	Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the window to open the Responsive Playback window where you can restrict which mobile device orientations learners are allowed to use. For example, if you build an interaction that works best in landscape mode and you don’t want learners to have a subpar experience by holding their mobile devices in portrait mode, just limit playback to landscape mode for tablets and smartphones. See this user guide for more information on responsive playback properties.

Items That Aren't Available During Preview
