# Results preview

You can preview an audit to view potential results without saving audit results or generating follow-on tasks. For example, use this feature to test template conditions for correctness without creating thousands of result records.

In an audit record, click **Preview Audit Results** under **Related Links** to show a summary of the potential audit results appears at the top of the audit record.

Previewing does not change the **Last run date** field.
