Testing a Template

Performing a test allows you to check that elements of the template work as expected. If not, you can fix any issues.

To test a template:

Go to Office > Merge Temple to display the Template Management window
Click Launch HotDocs Author to open WorkSpace Explorer.
Select a template and click Edit.
1. The HotDocs Author add-in for Word displays.
Click Test in the Template group under the HotDocs Author tab in the Word ribbon to open the Hotdocs Test Browser which contains a Document Preview, Answer Summary, and the ability to save and open answer files.
1. This enables you to interact with your template to check that either a component or a template works as you expect it to. For example, you can see how a dialog appears to a user during an interview.
