How to set up a trade without sending it to TOS

I was trying out a trade for March expiration with the 4000/3975 and at first I got a quote for 3.00 than I guess the data was lost so I thought maybe I could set up that trade in ONE but I would have to connect to IB in order to get live data for today
So I connected to TOS to get live data but now I am afraid I may send the order to TOS when I click on commit trade
Is that the way it works ?
How can I be sure not to send any orders from ONE to TOS while still keeping the live data for today ?
 
ONE will not send a trade to TOS for execution (afaik, I've never run into it actually placing a live order). Here's how I use it: In the "Commit Trade" window, pull down the arrow next to "thinkorswim" button on the bottom left, select "send without save" and the modeled trade gets copied to your clipboard. It can then be pasted into a TOS order for analysis or entry.
 
Thanks I just tried it without changing it to "send without save" and just entered a high credit that I was sure it's not going to get filled and it did not go to TOS
I don't need to copy it to TOS because I can set it up over there I wanted to set it up in ONE so I can compare it to TOS
