Newired Editor provides more different options to preview the Journey scenarios you create:

Play single Journey Steps
Play the entire Journey from the sidebar
Play the Journeys from the Launcher

Playing Single Steps

Each Journey Step has a Play button enabling you to play it singularly, or optionally going on from that Step until the end of the Journey.

Playing the entire Journey from the sidebar

If you hover any Journey in the Editor sidebar, you can click on the Play button. The Editor will redirect you to the starting URL and then will start the Journey from there.

Playing the Journeys from the Launcher

The Preview feature enables you to play the entire set of Journeys for a Site to simulate the deployed content on the target application.You can use the Launcher included in the Editor interface.This Launcher is configured to use the triangle shape only. It will be possible to modify the shape and the position of the Launcher when deploying Journeys on the target application. See the separate Newired Installation & Deployment Guide document for more details.

When you click on the Launcher triangle, the Launcher panel opens and you can play any Journey from there if you click on the Play button on the Journey row.

If the Journey is part of a Playbook, you can play it from there as well:
