An email preview shows how an email will appear in an inbox before it is sent. Previews help teams catch visual and structural issues early, without delivering test messages to real recipients.
Why Previews Matter During Creation
Editors often display idealized versions of emails that ignore inbox constraints. Previews simulate viewport width, default fonts, and image handling, making them especially valuable when paired with email testing workflows.
Limits of Previews
A preview is not a guarantee of perfect rendering. Differences between inboxes often require deeper validation through cross client testing and review of real email rendering behavior.
Using Previews in Reviews
Effective teams use previews during structured reviews. Designers focus on hierarchy, while developers validate links and layout behavior. This is especially important when preparing emails for dark mode environments.
