Tower and "Check Mode"?

Is there any way to run playbooks in Tower using the “–check” flag? This is a pretty critical feature and I’m surprised that it either doesn’t exist or I am just missing it (entirely possible).

The documentation shows this for Job Type:

  • Check: Setting the type to Check does not execute the playbook, but does check the syntax, test the environment setup, and report problems. Think of this as running the playbook in dry-run mode and having it report “changed” when an item would be changed, but not actually making changes.

Those two sentences seem contradictory to me. The first says it does not run the playbook, the second says it does but in dry-run mode.
