Before sending, get a subscriber-level preview for mobile messages that use Marketing Cloud Engagement Content Builder. Use Subscriber Preview to see personalization and code rendered for that subscriber.
This feature uses the Content Builder > Assets > Subscriber Preview permission. This permission is enabled by default for Marketing Cloud Engagement Administrator, Viewer, Channel Manager, and Editor/Publisher roles.
Important Previewing SMS messages is only available when performing a Data
Extension SMS send, and is usually unavailable for Journey Builder sends which don’t
require a Locale Field in the entry data extension to send the message. To select a
data extension for a Content Builder message preview, first prepare the data
extension for a Data Extension SMS send. See Data Extension Sends.
