Previewing and playing activities in the online editor

The Boardmaker Online Editor includes three different modes that enable you to design, play, and test your
activities and pages: Design, Play, and Preview Page.
 

Design Mode

Design mode is the default mode when you open the Online Editor. It enables you to create and edit activities by building and adding content.

Activity Open in Design Mode


 

Play Mode

When you select Play mode, the project will play from the first page (not necessarily the page that is open).

Note: If you just want to test a page, use Preview Page mode.

Preview Page mode enables you to test your activities. When you select Preview Page mode, the current page will be played in Play mode.

Note: Preview Page mode plays the project from the current page, whereas Play mode always plays the project from the first page in the project.

To stop the activity (or page) from playing, select Return to Design Mode at the top left corner of the page. (Circled in the illustrations above.)
