This article contains instructions and details about Absorb Create LI (Integrated Specific)
When pages complete as they should, courses complete as they should--issuing certificates, updating transcripts, and leaving learners with a sense of accomplishment and closure. It is worth everyone's time to fully test pages and courses before publishing to the LMS, and again before going live with enrollment. This article covers the testing process before publishing only.
Testing is a great time to reach out to our support team with any questions or unexpected behaviors. We are always happy to help!

Testing published content on various browsers and platforms
While the strategies above are useful for testing the internal functioning of your content, to test the full end user experience in various browsers and devices, we recommend publishing the lesson package, and enrolling test users in the LMS.
Do not test the Create Editor, Preview, or Reviewer modes on mobile devices or non-chromium browsers; those results will not reflect the end user experience.
