# Pull Request Previews
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pull requests to the React SDK layer (and in the future other layers as well)
|
|
|
|
|
automatically set up a preview site with a full deployment of Element with the
|
|
|
|
|
changes from the pull request added in so that anyone can easily test and review
|
|
|
|
|
them. This is especially useful for checking visual and interactive changes.

The checks section could be collapsed at first, so you may need to click "Show
|
|
|
|
|
all checks" to reveal them. Look for an entry that mentions `deploy-preview`. It
|
|
|
|
|
may be at the end of the list, so you may need scroll a bit to see it. To access
|
|
|
|
|
the preview site, click the "Details" link in the deploy preview row.

**Important:** Please always use test accounts when logging into preview sites,

as they may contain unreviewed and potentially dangerous code that could damage
|
|
|
|
|
your account, exfiltrate encryption keys, etc.

## FAQs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Are preview sites created for pull requests from contributors?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, they are created for all PRs from any author.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Do preview sites expire after some time period?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No, there is no expiry date, so they should remain accessible indefinitely, but
|
|
|
|
|
of course they obviously aren't meant to live beyond the development workflow,
|
|
|
|
|
so please don't rely on them for anything important. They may disappear at any
|
|
|
|
|
time without notice.
