What you can’t test on Fable Engage

Documents

Certain document testing is not supported on Fable Engage. This includes:

• Microsoft Word files
• Scanned documents
• Photographs or images with embedded text

Note: Fable Engage isn’t a good fit for document remediation workflows.

Content behind a firewall

Content that requires a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access it can’t be tested with Fable Engage. Fable Engage doesn’t support VPN connections.

Personal accounts and information

Testers are not permitted to use or share their personal accounts or information during tests. This ensures their privacy and protects them from having sensitive data exposed.

• Instead of using testers’ personal accounts, create test accounts for them to use. Learn more about providing test login credentials.
• If you need help with creating test accounts, email support@makeitfable.com.

Note: If you have questions about personal information and accounts in testing, consult your Customer Success Manager (CSM) for guidance.
