Hi Sarah! Does the 'Debug' feature in Task Builder 2 help you out with this at all? You can now preview any screen from any row of the spreadsheet instantly.

Hi Jade,
I know I wasn't the original poster but the Debug feature doesn't fully resolve this issue. The Debug feature only works within a single task (e.g., see an example trial of a task) but I believe the desired feature is to be able to preview a certain part of a larger experiment.
For example, let's pretend I have an experiment with 3 tasks. Let's say the first task is irrelevant to what I'm debugging, and I want to make sure something from the second task is passed to the 3rd correctly. To debug this I have to take my entire experiment from the start (i.e., all 3 tasks). What I would like to do is start at task 2 (skipping task 1) and make sure it's passing info to task 3 correctly. This feature would be very helpful.
I hope this was helpful. Thanks so much!
Best,
Joey

Joseph Heffner: Hi Joey! That's definitely helpful, thanks!
I wasn't totally sure if the original post was about previewing a task from part way through the spreadsheet or about previewing a whole experiment from a particular task node so to be on the safe side I've put both options onto the radar for the Gorilla team internally :)
I'll make sure your extra comments are taken into consideration too!

This seems like a critical feature for debugging and testing large experiments. Please let us start the preview from any node in the experiment.
