# Emulator

> Preview and test the Truv verification experience as the end-user using different products and flows.

Walk through the end-user verification experience with simulated conditions — preview templates, test workflows, and demo the Bridge flow before shipping.

***

## Configure the emulator

Emulator allows you to explore the end-user experience using different Products, Solutions, Templates, as well as routing to a specific Company or Payroll provider.

| Option                    | Description                                                                                             |

| **Solution**              | Payroll only, or include fallback workflows (document upload, financial accounts, etc.)                 |
| **Template**              | Preview how your branding and [template configuration](/developers/dashboard/customization) will appear |
| **Company / Provider ID** | Optionally specify a company or provider to open that connection directly                               |

## Explore the verification flow

Once configured, click any company in the search results and use one of our [login test credentials](/developers/testing/test-credentials#universal-login-scenarios) to begin the simulated login experience.

In Sandbox mode, the emulator lets you test every solution:

* Payroll connections
* Financial accounts
* Document processing (paystubs, W-2s, tax returns)
* Smart routing, Choice Connect, and fallback workflow behavior

As you click through the experience, login events and their corresponding JSON payloads are loaded in real time.

Once a connection is complete, the returned report can be viewed in the UI, as a JSON payload, or downloaded via PDF.

## Common use cases

* **Training demos** — Walk a client through the borrower experience before go-live, with their branding applied via a template
* **Template QA** — Validate that branding, copy, and search categories are configured correctly
* **Workflow testing** — Reproduce specific fallback or error scenarios in a controlled environment
