## Sending a test email

Before publishing, send a test to yourself:

1.  Click the **Send test** button in the top toolbar.
2.  Enter your email address.
3.  Click **Send**.

The test email arrives with placeholder values filled in where possible, so you can check formatting and layout in a real inbox.
