# Preview your template

Check how your template looks for each product before publishing it.

### Preview directly in the Image Editor

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open your template

Open the template in the Image Editor.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Browse import items

Use the left and right arrows in the top-right corner.

Each arrow shows the next or previous item in your import.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Check the design

Review how the template changes for each product.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Preview in an image rule

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Select the template

Create or open an image rule in **Creatives** → **Image rules**.

In the **THEN** section, select a template.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Run the rule

Click **Save & run**.

The rule shows how many items use the template.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Review the results

At the top of the rule, click **Preview results**.

Click an item preview image to inspect the generated design.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Resolve errors

The preview identifies template errors.

Click **See errors** to view the affected items.

A common error message is **Empty image URL**. This means one or more of the fields you selected to use as a dynamic image is missing an image URL.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/creatives-create-and-edit-images/create-an-image-template/preview-your-template.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
