### When to use it?

Use the View interface to quality-check your map before sharing it with users. Because it reflects your live solution, it's the most accurate way to verify that locations look correct, routes work as expected, and any [App Configuration](/products/web-app.md#configuration) settings are applied properly.

Common uses include:

* Checking that Display Rule changes look right on the map
* Testing that wayfinding routes are working correctly
* Verifying that App User Role restrictions are applied as expected
* Confirming how your map looks before a launch or update

### Refreshing after changes

The View interface does not update automatically when you make changes in Edit mode. If you have both tabs open at the same time, you'll need to manually refresh the View tab to see your latest changes reflected.

**Tip:** Make all your changes in Edit first, save them, then switch to View and refresh — rather than switching back and forth after every individual change.
