# Previewing a theme

View a real-time rendering of your theme and see how it affects the appearance of different end-user pages in your environment.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne admin console, go to **User Experience > Branding and Themes** and browse or search for the theme you want to view.

2. Click the theme you want to preview.

   The details panel for the theme opens. The **All** tab is selected by default and shows previews of every type of page affected by applying the selected theme. To preview a certain type of page, select the applicable tab and scroll to see the different pages in each category.

   To switch between previews for desktop or mobile devices, click the **Desktop** or **Mobile** icon (![p1 branding themes desktop mobile icon](_images/p1-branding-themes-desktop-mobile-icon.png)).
