Hello Team,

I did some research before asking and all I have found was posts from 2018 and thought it may have changed.

I have done an extension with the control panel the end user will integrate on his channel page with bits.

How do I make final tests? I know I needed an account with bits on them so I have a new account that was created with Bits.

Please let me know what’s next? what channel should embed the panel to see the tests and how do I see the end result?

Sorry this is very “For dummies” edition.

Thank you 🙂
