How do I test an individual rule

In Hazel 4, you used to be able - from within a rule - to select a file to see if its conditions match. How do I do a similar thing in v5? I can't see the icon that activates it.

Under the rule menu there is a menu item to Preview Rule. There is also a keyboard shortcut there.

If you upgrade to 5.0.1 there is an "eye" button in the toolbar which also allows you to Preview. This works on all rules for that folder.
