Try on Other Sites
This is the Workspace-config testing path for Rover. Start in Workspace, copy the test config JSON, paste it into the website tool, then generate the exact Helper, Console, or Bookmarklet artifact you need.
The exact order
- Open Workspace.
- Create or rotate a Rover site key so Workspace reveals the full
pk_site_*value. - In the Workspace setup view, use
Copy test config JSON. - Open Try on Other Sites.
- Paste the JSON, enter the website URL you want to test, then choose Helper, Console, or Bookmarklet.
Choose the right Rover path
| Path | What you need | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted Preview | Just sign in, URL, and prompt. | Rover-managed demos with no site config. |
| Preview Helper | Workspace test config JSON. | Best multi-page desktop path. |
| Console | Workspace test config JSON, then the generated snippet. | Fast DevTools demos on the current page. |
| Bookmarklet | Workspace test config JSON, then the generated bookmarklet. | Drag-to-bookmarks demos on the current page. |
| Production install | Workspace install snippet. | Your real live site, not arbitrary testing. |
What the JSON is for
Expected config shape
{
"siteId": "site_123",
"publicKey": "pk_site_123",
"siteKeyId": "key_123",
"apiBase": "https://agent.rtrvr.ai",
"allowedDomains": ["example.com"],
"domainScopeMode": "registrable_domain",
"externalNavigationPolicy": "open_new_tab_notice",
"openOnInit": true,
"mode": "full",
"allowActions": true
}The website tool validates this before generating anything, so you catch missing fields or bad domain scope early.
Choose the right method
Best for multi-page desktop demos. The website tool can now open the target page with a helper handoff fragment, and the helper popup still accepts the same JSON as a fallback.
Best when DevTools is already open. Paste the generated code into the Console on the current page.
Best for the drag-to-bookmarks moment. It is still current-page only, so reloads will need another click.
When to use Hosted Preview instead
Hosted Preview is the Rover-managed demo path. Use it when you do not want to think about site config yet, when you need a temporary demo token, or when mobile / CSP / reload behavior makes live injection unreliable.
See Instant Preview for the hosted path.
