So you are almost ready to launch your survey and just want to test it right? Preview mode is here for you! You can preview/test your survey by clicking the Preview link in the upper right of any survey page on the Build tab.
This is a great way to see what your respondent will experience while going through your survey. One thing to keep in mind is that in Preview mode your Page Logic is automatically turned off. This feature allows you test your survey without meeting the page logic requirements.
When testing, if you want to ensure your Page Logic is on point, don't forget to toggle the Ignore Page Logic switch to get a real feel for what your respondents will see!
Toggling this setting on/off will result in the Preview page reloading.
Visit the Testing Your Survey article to learn more about your survey testing options.

I have the same issue with fire actions in preview mode. It would be great to be able to customize the defaults. I want to turn on the page logic and fire the actions. Every. Single. Time.

please change the default to 'ignore'. Having this as the default is completely un-intuitive, given that skips automatically show in preview/test. It wastes our time as survey developers - and ultimately frustrating quirks like this deride the value of your product.

@Kathy: There is not an option to set a preference for this in Preview at this time. The good news is if you need to test that your page logic is working properly the Ignore Page Logic is turned off by default when recording a response on the Test Tab!

We use preview mode to test our logic all the time, but we continually have to uncheck the box. Is there a way to set the default to "Ignore" and only tick it when we want to?
