# Email preview & resend

> Resend order emails from the order page, and preview or test any email with a real order

Email preview & resend adds order actions to resend the Processing and Completed emails, and a **Preview & test** tab that shows any WooCommerce email exactly as it would look for a real order.

**Shows in:** Order actions, Preview & test tab

## Turn it on

Go to **WooCommerce → Powerups** and switch on **Email preview & resend**. It has no settings.

## Resend from the order

On the order page, open the **Order actions** dropdown and pick:

* **Resend "Processing order" email**
* **Resend "Completed order" email**

Each adds an order note. For the invoice, WooCommerce already has **Send order details to customer**.

## Preview & test

Open the **Preview & test** tab (also linked from the Powerups list).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick an email and an order">
    Choose the **Email** and type an **Order number**. With custom order numbers, type the order number, not the internal ID.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview">
    Click **Preview** to see the email exactly as WooCommerce would send it for that order.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send a test (optional)">
    Enter an address in **Send test to** and click **Send test**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

* A test goes only to the address you enter. Cc and Bcc recipients are always removed.
* It sends exactly what WooCommerce would, so plain-text emails go as plain text.
* It shows as **Test** in the [Email log](/admin-powerups/email-log).
* The order and the customer aren't changed or emailed.
* Each person can send 10 tests every 10 minutes. After that you see "You can send 10 test emails every 10 minutes. Try again in a few minutes."

<Warning>
  A test contains that real customer's order details. Send it only to your own address.
</Warning>

Emails with a private password or verification link (new account, password reset, email address confirmation and back-in-stock sign-up verification) can't be previewed, test-sent or resent.
