2.4.4 Playing Content Items to Test Them

There are various ways of playing content items to test them:
Activate a layout and view it on the screen. This is useful if you want to see the complete run of all items and you can
easily view the screen.
Audition a layout, playlist, or individual items on the screen. This is useful if you want to see individual items and you can
easily view the screen.
Display a single image of the current screen or view a live screen display of the current layout in your web browser. This
is useful if you want to see the content of the current display but cannot easily view the screen.
Preview an item in your web browser. This is useful if you want to see one particular item but cannot easily view the
screen.
