In the Storyboard, you can use Test Drive to test your story and all its different possibilities. Test Drive’s data aren’t saved anywhere, so as soon as you close the window, it will disappear.
You can open the Test Drive pane by clicking on the car icon on the top-right corner of the Storyboard page. To close the pane, click the icon on the top-right-most corner.
You can choose to start Test Drive from the starting block (the beginning) or from a selected block in the Storyboard. If none is selected, the second button won’t appear.

Test Drive allows you to create multiple threads. To create a new Test Drive thread after one has been created, click either one of buttons 1 or 2 to start from the beginning or a selected block, respectively.
To remove a thread, click button 4.
To have blocks in the Storyboard automatically focus as you go through a story in Test Drive, click the toggle button 3.

Notably, the best and most foolproof way to test what your students will eventually see is to actually be a student yourself. A common workaround is to create a student account for yourself in Cikgo and invite it to your course as a student.
The easiest way to do this is to make use of email aliases if your email provider supports one. For example, Gmail supports alternate email addresses or the infamous “+ hack”. With email aliases, you can use your existing inbox without having to create a new one just for a test student account.
You can then invite this email alias as a student in your course. Refer to Inviting students & instructors for more information on how to do this.
