# Previewing a Sheet in Spread Designer

Learn how to test and apply changes made in Spread Designer with the convenient Preview feature, avoiding any surprises at runtime.

## Content



To see what the effects of any changes with Spread Designer would be at run time, you can preview the spreadsheet before saving and applying the changes to the spreadsheet. From the **File** menu, select **Preview**, and a separate window opens with the spreadsheet as it would appear at run time. This **Preview** window has all the changes you have made Spread Designer and allows you to test those changes before saving and applying them.
