Test Your Email Template
If you create a custom email template, we recommend previewing the email before assigning the template to your store.
You can preview your email template from SETTINGS > EMAIL TEMPLATES. Click the pencil icon to the right of the template you want to preview, then click the Send Test button at the bottom of the template editor.
A popup will appear showing the email address associated with the account. Click Send Test.
After you create and save your email template, you can assign the template to a specific store. This way, all shipment confirmation emails or return emails from that store will be created using your new template.

You can also assign an email template via a Shipping Rule. You do not need to assign the template to a store if you plan to assign it via a Shipping Rule. Learn more about Shipping Rules.
