Preview a Workflow to verify the learner experience and confirm that each Mirror Screen appears as expected. If the Workflow has Language Variants, preview each variant to ensure that the translated content displays correctly. For more information, see [Multi-Language Support in Mirror](/mirror/docs/multilanguage-support-in-mirror) and [Create Language Variants in Mirror](/mirror/docs/create-language-variants-in-mirror). Use preview to verify the following: - The Workflow starts on the correct landing screen. - Each Mirror Screen appears in the same sequence as your application. - No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) appears on any Mirror Screen. > [!WARNING] > Note: > > Mirror does not capture data or record activity for Workflows in the **Draft** and **Ready** stages, and this data does not appear in the Mirror Analytics dashboard. For more information, see [Workflow Analytics](/mirror/docs/workflow-analytics).
