=== Sending a Test Version of Your Campaign ===

Sending a test version of your campaign allows you to see how the email will look in a specific recipient’s email client and is a great way to conduct a quick review of your content. Here's how to do it:

==== From the Campaign Settings Page ====
1. **Classic Designer**: Click the '''Gear icon''' located above the right sidebar to open the settings modal.
   **Email Designer**: You can use either the '''Gear icon''' or the '''Test Email icon'''.
2. Enter the email address you wish to send a test to in the '''Test Your Campaign''' field.
3. Click '''Send Test'''.

==== From the Campaign Summary Page ====
1. Click the '''Test and preview''' button.
2. In the modal window, type the email address you want to send a test to in the '''Send Test Email''' field.
3. Click '''Send'''.

=== Desktop Preview ===

The Desktop Preview feature allows you to quickly assess how your email will look on both desktop and mobile devices. 

==== Accessing Desktop Preview ====
- **In the Campaign Settings Page**:
  1. **Classic Designer**: Click the '''Gear icon''' to access settings and select the '''Desktop Preview''' button.
  2. **Email Designer**: Click the '''Preview icon''' located above the right sidebar.
  
- **In the Campaign Summary Page**:
  1. Click the '''Test and preview''' button.
  2. Click the '''Desktop Preview''' button.

This view is essential to ensure that your email design effectively translates between desktop and mobile; however, it should not be your only design test as rendering can vary between devices.

=== Email Client Preview ===

Email Client Preview (also known as Inbox Preview) allows you to see how your email will appear across various email clients, including Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail, and Outlook.

==== How to Access Email Client Preview ====
1. From the Campaign Summary page, hover over your campaign design and click the '''Edit design''' button.
2. Click the '''Test Email icon''' located above the right sidebar.
3. In the modal window, click the '''View compatibility''' button.

This feature helps to ensure your campaign will render correctly across different platforms.

=== Sending Your Campaign to a Test List ===

Creating a copy of your campaign and sending it to a list of test contacts provides valuable insights into how the email will perform across distinct email clients. Here's how to send a campaign to a test list:

1. Navigate to the '''Campaigns Overview''' page.
2. Click the down caret for the campaign you wish to copy then select '''Duplicate'''.
3. The copy appears at the top of the Campaigns overview page; click the '''Continue''' button for that campaign.
4. On the '''Campaign Summary''' page, select the test list you wish to send the campaign to (ensure no other list is checked).
5. Click '''Send Now'''.

This method allows the testing of personalization tags, conditional content, and captures all actions taken within the campaign.
