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 share a Lesson for review?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|

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].
