Live preview

The right column of the editor renders your site live. Every save triggers a quick re-render — usually under two seconds. What you see is what visitors will see.

What the preview reflects

All your pages, the live navigation, the search bar, the AI chat widget.
Your branding — colors, fonts, logo, favicon.
Your custom domain redirect (if set), though links inside preview point to the editor URL.
Mobile breakpoints — drag the preview pane edge to see your mobile layout.

What it doesn't

Publishing-only behavior. Things that only happen on the published site (CDN caching, llms.txt freshness, the AI chat widget querying your real index) work but reflect the latest snapshot.
External integrations. If you've embedded a third-party widget, it loads from its real source — not a sandbox.

Refresh and full reload

Most edits update the preview without losing your scroll position. Theme changes, font changes, or major structural edits sometimes need a full reload — there's a small refresh button in the preview pane's top bar.

Open in a new tab

The preview pane has an external-link icon in its corner. Click to open the same URL in a new browser tab — useful when you want to see it full-size or test interactions that don't fit in the editor pane.

Behind the scenes

The preview is a live development server, not a screenshot or a cached snapshot. That's why edits show up instantly without you needing to publish. When you click Publish, that exact state gets built and deployed to your real domain.

Troubleshooting

Preview is slow / not updating. The dev server occasionally needs a kick. Hit refresh in the preview pane.
Preview shows "Building..." for a long time. A heavy edit (like the agent rewriting many files) takes longer to recompile. Wait 30-60 seconds.
Preview disagrees with published site. The preview is always more current than your published site until you click Publish. After publishing, they should match.
