Optimizely Data Platform (ODP) lets you preview and share your web content within the platform before it is live. 

## Preview content

1. Go to **Activations > Overview**. 
2. Click **Create New Campaign > Web** or select a web campaign.
3. Click **Preview**.

4. Enter a page URL when prompted.

ODP validates that the selected page matches the rules you configured in **Targets**. The preview shows triggers but ignores constraints.

## Troubleshoot

If you are unable to preview, ensure you meet the following conditions:

- Integrate the Optimizely SDK with the site URL in question, or use an app or integration that handles this, like Shopify.
- Ensure the page URL matches your constraints. For example, if the site you are trying to preview is *myacme.com,* and your page limitations the URL must contain *acme.com*, ODP displays an error.
