Preview environments let you test changes in isolation before deploying to production. Each ticket gets its own preview URL where you can see changes live.

How Previews Work

Preview environment architecture

[Screenshot placeholder]

When AI completes development on a ticket, a preview environment is automatically created:

Unique URL for each ticket
Isolated from production data
Uses preview environment variables
Auto-destroyed after deployment or rejection

Accessing Previews

Access the preview from the ticket view:

Open the ticket
Click "Open Preview" button
Or copy the preview URL to share

✨Share with Stakeholders

Preview URLs are shareable. Send them to stakeholders for feedback before deploying. No login required to view.

Preview Features

Live Reload

Previews update automatically when AI makes changes during development. No need to refresh.

Device Testing

Test on different devices by visiting the preview URL on your phone or tablet, or use browser dev tools.

Password Protection

Enable password protection in project settings to restrict preview access.

Preview vs Production

Aspect	Preview	Production
URL	ticket-123.preview.turtleapps.io	your-domain.com
Data	Isolated/test data	Live data
Env Vars	Preview settings	Production settings
Caching	Disabled	Enabled
Lifetime	Temporary	Permanent

Configuring Previews

Customize preview behavior in Project Settings → Preview:

Auto-create — Automatically create previews (default: on)
Password protection — Require password to view
Expiration — How long previews stay active
Base URL — Custom preview domain

Limitations

Be aware of these preview limitations:

Third-party integrations may not work (Stripe, auth providers)
Email sending is disabled by default
Some features may require production environment
Performance is not identical to production

💡Preview Limits

The number of concurrent previews depends on your plan. Previews from closed tickets are automatically cleaned up.
