Hi Shanen,

For patches in gerrit reviews we tend to check them out to our local
test instances.

So if you wish to test you'll need to set up a git clone of Mahara and
checkout the patch to that.

If you need help with any of that you can take a look at
https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area in the Getting set up
section.

Cheers

Robert
