How to test new Actor Node's setup via Play, without going back to beginner viewport?

Hello,

Is there a way to test out how nodes are working on New Actors without having to create a sequence event, and or a new project.
The issue is every time I click on Play, the viewport goes back to the beginner actor shooter even when I choose
current camera location. Please advise how to test via PLAY New Actor Operational Nodes?

Thanks!

After looking and testing stuff, it appears that if I go into the viewport and click on simulate under play it works!
