How to Preview WalkMe Content in Desktop Menu

Last Updated February 22, 2026

Brief Overview

While creating content for the desktop menu, builders may want to test their work without having to save, publish, and refresh with each change.

With content preview, builders can preview content instantly from the editor.

How it Works

The switch to the editor mode and preview content:

  1. Select the Turn on Menu Editor Mode banner in the editor
  2. WalkMe Menu automatically:
    • Opens the menu (if it isn't already running)

  2. Type /editor-mode-on in the search bar
  3. The menu will disappear
  4. Open the editor and select an item to preview

How to quit the preview mode
