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 a Rover site key. Workspace keeps the full owner-readable
pk_site_*install material available whenever you reopen Install or Scripts. - Open Install, then use
Copy test config JSON. - Open Live Test and stay on the Use Workspace config path.
- 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
Reusable wildcard config (recommended for testing)
{
"siteId": "rover-live-test-config-...",
"publicKey": "pk_site_...",
"siteKeyId": "...",
"allowedDomains": ["*"],
"domainScopeMode": "registrable_domain",
"openOnInit": true,
"mode": "full",
"allowActions": true,
"capabilities": { "roverEmbed": true },
"ui": { "voice": { "enabled": true } }
}Exact site-scoped config
{
"siteId": "site_123",
"publicKey": "pk_site_123",
"siteKeyId": "key_123",
"apiBase": "https://agent.rtrvr.ai",
"allowedDomains": ["example.com"],
"domainScopeMode": "registrable_domain",
"openOnInit": true,
"mode": "full",
"allowActions": true,
"capabilities": { "roverEmbed": true },
"ui": { "voice": { "enabled": true } }
}The website tool validates this before generating anything, so you catch missing fields or bad domain scope early. Workspace and Live Test rely on Rover's built-in tab behavior: external pages open in a new tab with notice, and allowed-host hops use smart tab selection.
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.
The helper now remembers your last-used config. After the first handoff via “Open target with helper” or a manual paste, subsequent sessions reuse the saved config automatically.
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.
Troubleshooting
allowedDomains contains ["*"]. If using exact site-scoped config, test on a host that matches your allowed domains, or switch to the reusable wildcard config for unrestricted testing.
