# Use the Preview Mode on the Whatfix Desktop Studio

Use Whatfix **Preview Mode** to review and see how your content appears in the end-user application. Find any errors that may have slipped in and rectify them before your end users face an issue.

Use the following steps to preview Whatfix content and widgets:

1. Launch **Whatfix Studio**. ![studio_application.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/studio_application%281%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T08%3A36%3A09Z&se=2026-11-12T09%3A36%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=pQlKO3nerqF4IgrN3ToRReQ0NFuSozJGtptIvTcQBZ8%3D)
2. Enable the **Preview Mode** toggle. ![cues_enable_preview_mode_on_studio.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/cues_enable_preview_mode_on_studio.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T08%3A36%3A09Z&se=2026-11-12T09%3A36%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=pQlKO3nerqF4IgrN3ToRReQ0NFuSozJGtptIvTcQBZ8%3D)
3. In the **Enter Preview mode?** dialog box, click **Enter**. ![Preview_modeStudio](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Preview_modeStudio.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T08%3A36%3A09Z&se=2026-11-12T09%3A36%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=pQlKO3nerqF4IgrN3ToRReQ0NFuSozJGtptIvTcQBZ8%3D)

Info:

If the content you want to preview is in the Draft stage, then select the **Include Draft content and widgets.** checkbox. ![studio_include_draft_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/studio_include_draft_content.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T08%3A36%3A09Z&se=2026-11-12T09%3A36%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=pQlKO3nerqF4IgrN3ToRReQ0NFuSozJGtptIvTcQBZ8%3D)

Note:

- When you create a new Desktop enterprise, you must perform at least one push to production before you start previewing content.
- The first push to production can be a dummy P2P.

For more information about pushing content to production, see [Publishing content](/desktop/docs/publishing-content).
