Previewing your test or study

See exactly what participants will experience. Preview your test at any time, before or after launch, or preview your interview study invite.

Lyssna lets you preview your test or interview study to check your setup, catch any issues, and see exactly what participants will experience. You can preview a test at any time, whether it's a draft, live, or complete.


Previewing an unmoderated test

In the test builder, click the Preview button in the top-right corner. This opens the test in a new browser tab, where you can complete it the same way participants would.

You can also preview a test from your dashboard. Click the three-dot menu (…) on the test and select Preview. This works in every test state, including after your test is complete, which is handy for showing your team how a test looks.

Anything you submit in the preview won't be saved to your test results. It's purely for review. The preview link is useful for internal checks and demonstrations, but it does not collect responses from self-recruited participants.

The Preview button stays greyed out until you've added at least one section to your test.


Previewing a moderated study (Interviews)

For Interview studies, you can preview the invitation that participants will receive. In the interview setup tab, click Preview study in the bottom-left corner.

This opens a new browser tab showing what participants will see when they receive an invite: the study name, description, duration, and any other details from your setup.


Common questions

Can I preview a test that's already complete?

Yes. Preview is available at any time from the three-dot menu on your dashboard or from the test builder. Preview submissions are never saved to your results.

Why does my prototype test show an error in preview?

If it's an older test and the Figma prototype has been moved or is no longer available, the preview can show an error. Check that the prototype still exists in Figma and that its link still works.
