WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.960 Hi, everyone. This video will show you how to preview a lesson as a student in your course. 00:05.680 --> 00:09.680 This is important because it lets you see exactly what your students will experience when they 00:09.680 --> 00:15.280 access your content. We'll break this down into three easy steps so you can follow along without 00:15.280 --> 00:21.040 any confusion.

Select Logout from the drop-down menu to complete this step. You are now 00:43.600 --> 00:48.640 viewing the course from the teacher's perspective.

To switch to student view and preview the lesson, click the 00:53.920 --> 00:59.280 dashboard breadcrumb at the top.
