Previewing Emails
Previewing emails allow you to see how an email will appear to a recipient who is viewing the email in their email client. While preview emails are not actually sent to recipients, you will be able to view the sent email in the same way that the recipient would.
Sending preview emails will deliver a preview of the email as it currently is, without saving any changes you have made in the email editor. This allows you to see the email in its current state during editing and verify that changes are working as intended, before saving it.
To send preview emails, create or edit an email from the Email page in the left toolbar.

Options > Send a Preview Email.
