# Preview a Launcher

Previewing the Launcher enables you to test and experience the segment exactly like your end users would see it. Preview a Launcher collection using the See live option or the Preview Mode on the Studio before publishing it live for your end users.

**Preview using the See live option**

Use the following steps to Preview a Launcher using the See live option:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Content**. ![ia_left_nav_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_content.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-14T08%3A14%3A24Z&se=2026-10-14T09%3A14%3A24Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=fMYCkuylnmEKqJqEXU%2BEcPpfRdIKdsneKwvbvmfFgZU%3D)
2. Click **Launchers**. ![ia_left%20nav_launchers](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left%20nav_launchers.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-14T08%3A14%3A24Z&se=2026-10-14T09%3A14%3A24Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=fMYCkuylnmEKqJqEXU%2BEcPpfRdIKdsneKwvbvmfFgZU%3D)

Hover your cursor over the Launcher collection you want to preview, and then click the **See live** icon. ![CLM_DB_See_live_icon](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/CLM_DB_See_live_icon.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-14T08%3A14%3A24Z&se=2026-10-14T09%3A14%3A24Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=fMYCkuylnmEKqJqEXU%2BEcPpfRdIKdsneKwvbvmfFgZU%3D)

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> - Clicking the **See live** icon redirects you to the application you have created the Launcher on and displays how the content would appear to the end user.
> - The **See live** option appears only in the **Contents** section, not in **Widgets**.
