Why don't my updates appear in the bot preview in Zendesk Bot Builder?

If your updates, such as images or buttons, aren't appearing in the bot preview, it's because they need to be published first. The bot preview doesn't reflect unpublished changes.

To see your updates, ensure you publish the bot after making changes. You can also use the messaging preview to test custom buttons and other interactive elements before going live.
