Overview

Test Mode refers to the ability of users to play unpublished missions and story arcs created by the Mission Architect.

Unpublished story arcs are kept only on the creator's hard drive. To play a mission in test mode, the creator of the story arc must be the team leader, and select "Play" on the Mission Architect interface.
