Preview Variants

Before making a test live, you can preview each variant to make sure everything looks and works as expected. This is especially useful for double-checking layout, content, and interactions in Webflow.

How to preview a variant

  1. Open the Optibase Web App

  2. Navigate to the Test that contains the variant you want to preview

  3. Click the Preview/Force Icon next to the variant

  4. A modal will appear with a preview URL

    • Input the base URL of your website (where the test runs)

    • Click Copy to copy the full preview URL

  5. Open the link in a browser to view the variant live

The preview URL includes a special optibaseVariants search param that forces Optibase to load the specific variant.

Example preview URL

https://example.com?optibaseVariants=hero_headline:variant_b

You can also preview multiple variants from different tests by chaining them:

https://example.com?optibaseVariants=hero_headline:variant_b;cta_button:variant_a

Notes

  • Previewing does not affect your test data — no page views or conversions are tracked

  • You can share preview URLs with clients or teammates for feedback

  • If nothing changes on the page, double-check that the variant is connected properly
