== Overview ==

'''Test Mode''' refers to the ability of users to play unpublished missions and [[Story Arc|story arcs]] created by the [[Mission Architect]].

Unpublished story arcs are kept only on the creator's hard drive.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.
