# Preview a Mirror Screen

Whatfix Mirror enables you to preview a specific Mirror Screen you capture. This functionality helps you verify the accuracy of interactive elements and assess the overall quality of your user training simulations. You can preview a Mirror screen from Whatfix Studio and the Whatfix Mirror Dashboard.

For example, if you capture a Mirror screen with a drop-down menu that contains additional options you want your users to see, use Preview to verify whether the Mirror screen displays all the options in the expanded state of the drop-down.
