1. Get the XML of the letter
I. Navigate to Configuration Menu > General > General Configuration > XML To Letter Admin and select a user to receive the XML and for which letters the XML should be sent.

3. Test Changes
I. Changes can be tested by navigating to Configuration Menu > General > General Configuration > Notification Template
II. Load XML from step 1 above in the "XML to upload" field

IV. To test in browser, select "Run XSL" this will open a sample of the letter in a new tab (be sure that browser allows popup tabs to appear)
V. For the sample letter to be emailed, select "Send by email", enter an email address, and select "Run XSL"
