How to Publish Changes to QA Mode

- Select “Publish QA”
Method 2: Publish QA Mode from ‘More’

Method 3: Publish QA from Custom JavaScript

- Click on “Save and Publish QA”
Using QA Mode
To actually make use of Digioh’s QA mode, you just need to add ?boxqamode to your site’s URL. QA mode itself is sticky, so once you’ve entered QA mode, the parameter does not need to be in the URL.
Once the QA mode is loaded there will be a Digioh Logo in the Bottom Left.
Once you click on the logo it will open QA mode Notification Tool.
The Notifications Tool shows messages from Digioh Extensions and serves as a debugging tool.
To leave QA Mode, either end the session or click the “Exit QA Mode” button in the top right corner of the screen.
Technical Notes:
To ensure complete isolation, Digioh creates and references a completely different JavaScript file. If the URL contains ?boxqamode, the QA Mode JavaScript file is called instead of the production JavaScript file.
