&lt;p&gt;The honest answer for most teams is partial: they can build and preview a workflow, but running the full route without live consequences depends on how cleanly the platform separates &quot;draft&quot; from &quot;send.&quot; I&#39;ve noticed a version of that preparation gap surface in reviews too: a D4H training chief said the system occasionally shows people as available when they&#39;re actually out of town on vacation, since availability depends on status updates being kept current. That&#39;s exactly the kind of flaw a dry run should catch before an actual incident, which is a good argument for treating a full test of the workflow, escalation and routing included, as a recurring exercise rather than a one-time setup step.&lt;/p&gt;
