Check mailing preview
In the "Preview" tab, you can check whether your mailing actually looks the way you imagined during the editing process.

Here you can see your resolved modules. You can click through your links on a test basis and display the attributes of your recipients based on your test profiles.
-
You can also send a test mail based on your test profiles: this allows you to view and check your mailing in real email clients. This is highly useful if you want to check how personalized data will be displayed.
