Verify in Preview

Preview mode is the safe testing stage before production.

How Preview works

• Preview is browser-local: it is meant for your current browser session.
• Shoppers are not affected while you are in Preview.
• Open Preview opens storefront with ?kea-preview=true.
• The admin app also writes a local browser flag (kea_storefront_preview_mode_v1=enabled) before opening preview.

Turn Preview on

1. Finish wizard step Build & Preview.
2. Click Open Preview.
3. In the storefront tab, confirm search UI is visible and interactive.

If needed, you can also open storefront URL manually with ?kea-preview=true.

Turn Preview off

Use one of these options:

• open storefront with ?kea-preview=false,
• close preview tab/session and verify normal shopper view.

What to test in Preview

Test the flows your shoppers will use:

1. Search input and typing behavior.
2. Suggestions/dropdown behavior.
3. Results page rendering.
4. Filters/facets apply and clear.
5. Product card actions and links.
6. Mobile and desktop layouts.

If Preview does not look right

• If UI is missing: verify integration points and selectors in settings.
• If layout is broken: disable recent custom CSS and retest.
• If results are stale: check indexing status before re-testing.
