Studies. How can i get the octopus?

Good morning friends from Spain. I'm starting to work with the studies. I find them a powerful learning weapon. But there is something that must be basic that I can't find. I edit a study without a problem, most of the time in "interactive" mode but sometimes I see studies where an octopus appears and the answers are hidden. How do I run my study so that that octopus appears and I am not able to see the correct answer on the screen?

Thanks in advance.
If you have selected Analysis mode as "Interactive" while creating/editing a chapter, you'll have a button that says "Preview", clicking on that will show the octopus for your own study.
Thanks QoX!, it works!, but i still have a problem: If the study has 7 puzzles, for example, when i finish the first and click on the new chapter I have to ckick in "Preview" again to hide the solution. Is it not possible to run all the study in "preview" mode?
Yes, that's a problem I ran into a few years ago, you can't practice your own interactive studies!

The workaround is to open your interactive study with other account or in incognito mode. If your study is public, you can access anonymously. And if you want to keep study private, select visibility as "Unlisted" instead of "Invite Only" while creating/editing study. Then if you paste study url in incognito, you will have the access.
