Testing your overlay campaign

While in test mode the campaign won’t be live on your site, but you can test and preview the latest changes by adding #om_overlays_debugto the end of your site URL.

Example: https://www.example.com/#om_overlays_debug

We recommend that you do this in incognito mode/private browsing so that your website behaviour doesn't affect the overlay rules. 

The overlay will follow the logic you have defined in Settings while in testing mode, e.g. if you set the overlay to display after three seconds browsing, it will not appear in test mode until three seconds have passed.

While in test mode the following logic does not apply to your overlay:

• frequency rules (set by you to determine when and how many times an overlay should display), 
• the default rule to display an overlay only once per 24 hours to each visitor, and;
• the rule to display an overlay only to unidentified contacts.
