Review Match replays a completed match against your whole Automated Game Plan. You can see which playlist would have played at each moment and which trigger fired it. This lets you check that everything works before you rely on the game plan for a live match.

Before you start
Your game plan has at least a few playlists built, with triggers set.
You have a completed match with data. The data can come from the LiveScore app or from an external data feed.
That match had a game plan when it was played. If it didn't, LIGR shows No snapshot available and there is nothing to replay.
Find the match ID
Go to Matches and open the Completed list.
Open the match and copy its ID from Match Settings.
For a match that runs on external data, hover over EXT and click the copy icon instead.
Choose a match where plenty happened, such as goals, cards and substitutions. For example, a busy Harbour City (HCF) v Ridgeview (RVR) fixture from the LIGR Demo League. The more events the match has, the more of your game plan you can test in one go.
Load the match
Go to the Automation tab and open your game plan.
Click Review Match in the top right.
Enter or paste the match ID.
Click Load.
A snapshot of that match loads. The snapshot holds the facts that came into the match, such as periods, breaks, goals, cards and substitutions. LIGR runs those facts through your current game plan.
You'll see a timeline of the match with every trigger point marked along it. Hover over a marker to see what it is. Click a marker to jump straight to that moment.
Read Now Playing
The Now Playing panel tells you two things:
Which playlist is active, for example Scorebug - Default or Red Card.
Which trigger fired it, with its place in the match, for example Trigger 5 of 18 · Red Card · 34'.
This is the quickest way to answer "why did that graphic show?" or "why didn't my playlist play?". If the wrong playlist is active at a trigger, check that playlist's triggers, priority and guards.
Step through the triggers
Click Next to jump to the next trigger in the match.
Click Prev to go back to the previous trigger.
Press play at any point to watch the graphics run from there.
Each time you step, Now Playing updates to show the playlist and trigger for that moment. Stepping lets you check each moment without waiting for the whole match to play out.
Filter the triggers
Use the filters to show only the trigger types you want to check:
Facts: match events, such as goals, cards and substitutions.
Period: period changes and breaks, such as kick-off, half-time and full-time.
Timed: time-based triggers, such as a sponsor playlist that runs 10 minutes into a half.
Milestone: milestone triggers, such as every third corner for a team.
When a filter is on, Prev and Next move through only those trigger types. For example, if you've just built your card playlists, filter to Facts and step through only the events.
Speed up playback
Choose a faster playback speed to move through the match quickly, up to 60 times normal speed. This is handy for checking timed playlists or a full half without waiting in real time.
Slow it back down when you reach a moment you want to watch closely. At normal speed you can see each graphic animate in and out, and check how long it stays on screen.
Switch skins
If your theme has more than one skin, switch skins to see how the game plan looks in a different style. The playlists and triggers stay the same.
Tips and common mistakes
Review uses your current game plan. Make a change, save it, then load the match again to see the result.
Two playlists fired at once? Only one can win. Give playlists that can collide different priorities in Configure.
A playlist never appears? Check that its trigger matches what actually happened in the match. For example, a Players Entering trigger only fires if Players Entering was tapped in the LiveScore app.
Use Preview for one playlist. To check the timing of a single playlist, use Preview on that playlist instead of reviewing a whole match.
Review before a big match. Run a quick review after any major change to your game plan so there are no surprises on the day.
