# Test Compile a Snippet

You can check whether any snippet in the database compiles with all supported compilers that are installed on the local computer, providing the snippet is not freeform. Proceed as follows:

1. Select a snippet in the Overview Pane.
2. Click the Compile | Test Compile Snippet menu option or press F9.

The Test Compile Results dialogue box will appear and display the compilation results. There may be a pause before the results are displayed while the compilation is performed.
