# Test an app template

You can preview your templates on the **Create your message** step in the campaign creation flow.

## Requirements

- Your device should be [added as a test device](/docs/testing-an-app-template#add-a-test-device).
- Your device should be opted in for app pushes.

> If you are testing via a test push, your campaign will be visible upon clicking the app push.

## Live preview

The **Live Preview** button lets you view the campaign on your device.

Click the **Live Preview** button to scan the **QR code** with your device where your app is installed, or click the **Send as Test Push** button.

Scanning the QR code will start your app, and you will see the app template. You will receive a push on your device if you send it as a test push. Once you click it, you will be redirected to your app to see the app template.

### Add a test device

To test a campaign, you should add your device as a test device. Refer to [Add a Test Device](/docs/adding-a-test-device) to add your test devices.
