Currently, there is no way to validate or test conditional content within articles. Conditional logic cannot be verified by admins or users unless they naturally fall within (or outside of) the defined criteria.
This creates a gap where editors cannot confidently confirm whether conditional content is functioning as intended. For example:
  • If the editor is not part of the target criteria, they cannot view the content to validate it
  • If the editor is part of the criteria, they cannot confirm whether the content is truly conditional or simply visible to all users
Requested Enhancement:
Introduce functionality within preview mode (or a similar testing interface) that allows users to simulate different audience conditions. This should include:
  • The ability to preview content as different roles, groups, or criteria sets
  • A toggle or selector to switch between conditions (e.g., “View as X audience”)
  • Clear indicators showing which conditional rules are being applied
Business Impact:
  • Ensures accuracy and reliability of conditional content before publishing
  • Reduces risk of incorrect or unintended content visibility
  • Improves efficiency by eliminating the need for workaround testing
  • Enhances confidence in content delivery across different user groups
Current Behavior:
  • Conditional content cannot be tested unless the user naturally meets or does not meet the criteria
Expected Behavior:
  • Users can simulate and validate all conditional scenarios directly in preview mode
