Previewing a deck#

Preview is exactly what your students will see — the play view rendered against the saved version of your deck.

How to open it#

Three ways:

1. Deck editor — Click the ▶ Preview button in the header. Opens in a new tab.
2. Decks index — Use the ⋯ menu on any deck row, then Preview. Also opens in a new tab.
3. Deck report — A Preview button in the report's top-right corner.

Whichever path you take, Preview keeps your edit context open so you can quickly hop back to make changes.

What Preview shows#

The play view uses whatever's in the database. That means:

• The deck's current saved state — not your unsaved edits.
• The activity types allowed by the deck's settings.
• The card order setting (randomized or sequential).
• All currently-saved cards, in the saved order.

If your latest changes don't appear, you forgot to hit Save.

Disabled state#

The Preview button is greyed out when the deck has zero cards — there's nothing to play. Add at least one card and save.

Doesn't count as an attempt#

Previews don't write Attempt records. So you won't pollute your "Total attempts" or "Avg score" stats by tapping Preview repeatedly while iterating.
