Preview and Review Lessons

The Studio Previewer lets Content Developers preview a Lesson across device sizes and share it for review, including video and SCORM content, in-context comments, and sign-in-protected preview links.

What can you do in the Previewer?

  • Preview a Lesson before you publish it.
  • Test how the Lesson looks at different device sizes, zoom levels, and in Light or Dark mode.
  • Preview video and SCORM content.
  • Leave and read comments anchored to a step.
  • Share a review link with someone outside Studio.
  • Require reviewers to sign in with your organization's SSO using Authenticated Preview.

How do you preview a Lesson across devices?

Step Action
1 Open the Lesson in Skyllful Studio.
2 Open the Previewer (Preview).
3 Choose a device preset, or set the width and height.
4 Set the zoom level and toggle Light or Dark mode.
5 Save a device preset to reuse it later.

Where do device presets come from?

Device presets are managed on the Device Presets tab in Learning Program Settings. Saved presets appear in the Previewer.


How do you share a Lesson for review?

Step Action
1 Open the Previewer for the Lesson.
2 Create a review link.
3 Send the link to your reviewer. Reviewers can open the link and add comments without a Studio login, unless Authenticated Preview is turned on.

What is Authenticated Preview?

Authenticated Preview requires reviewers to sign in with your organization's SSO before they can view the preview. It grants them automatic preview-only access, so you can share a Lesson securely.


How do comments work?

Reviewers leave comments anchored to a step or a video, and those comments stay even if you replace a video. For more on sharing and collaboration, see [LINK TO: Sharing Lessons].
