You can view the event from the perspective of each bidder from the Bidders page. In the Bidder activity overview table, navigate to the required bidder, and in the Actions column, click Preview.
You can use the bidder preview to place bids or complete an RFI on behalf of the bidder.
You can only place bids using the bidder preview after the event is published. To place starting bids before the event is published, go to Invite > Surrogate Bidding.
The bidder preview is particularly useful if you have to troubleshoot an issue for a bidder because you can see exactly what they see for the event. Use the tabs at the bottom of the page to access different pages.
