We’ve received a lot of requests for a way to preview a Pipe that you’re working on in the Editor.

Yesterday, we added the new “Pipe Preview…” link at the top of the Pipes Editor. It lets you easily view the hosted version of a saved Pipe. This link appears whenever you save the Pipe you’re editing. Since any unsaved changes to the Pipe won’t be reflected properly the link disappears until you save your changes.

As a helpful tip, the Debugger window can be used to inspect each segment of your Pipe to make sure it is behaving as expected. Selecting a Module in your Pipe will cause the Debugger to display its output. In the Debugger, click on the small triangle to the left of each item title to examine its contents in more detail.

Please give these options a try and let us know what you think!
