# Sending Test Emails
Sending a test email is a crucial step to ensure your email appears exactly as you intend in your recipients' inboxes. This guide will walk you through the process of sending a test version of your email before publishing it.
### Prerequisites
Before you can send a test email, you must have at least one email provider configured in your account settings.
### Sending Your Test Email
Follow these steps to send a test email from the editor.
1. From the email editor, locate and click the **Send test** button in the bottom-left corner of the screen.\
2. The **Send Test Email** dialogue box will appear. In the **To Email** field, enter the email address where you want to send the test. You can send it to yourself or a colleague for review.
3. In the **Subject** field, enter a subject line for your test. This helps you identify the email in your inbox.
4. Click the **Email Provider** dropdown menu and select the configured provider you wish to use for sending the test.
5. Click the **Send Test Email** button to dispatch the email.
### Verifying the Test Email
After you click send, you can confirm that the email has been sent and received.
1. A confirmation notification, **"Test email sent,"** will briefly appear in the top-right corner of the application. This confirms that the system has successfully handed the email off to your provider.
2. Check the recipient's email inbox. The test email should arrive shortly. Open it to verify that the layout, images, links, and content all appear correctly.
