Development: preview your module while building
During the Development phase, your module auto-updates after each change, allowing you to immediately preview the end user interface and conduct testing.
Please be aware that some features are unavailable in Preview mode, including file uploads, email sending, databases and integration usage. Additionally, user statistics and inputs are not stored in databases or collected in the module statistics during this phase.
Test: share your module with colleagues for internal testing
Publish your module to the Test environment and share the URL with your colleagues via email or direct messaging. They can open the link in a web browser and test the watermarked module to ensure its proper functioning before it becomes accessible to end users. This allows you to continue building without interfering with your test users. You can also publish amended version to Test for additional rounds of internal testing.
If your colleagues do not have BRYTER accounts, make the Test version available to Public by configuring end user access.
Live: distribute your module to end users
Publish your module to the Live environment and distribute it to your end users in various formats, such as a stand-alone website, a responsive mobile web app, or embeddable in an intranet.
You can also configure additional publishing settings, for example, to enable your end users to save their partially completed modules and return to them via a personalized link at a later time.
