Live preview

Preview your documentation site and see changes in real time as you edit.

Preview your documentation site in real time as you make changes in the web editor. Live previews show your site exactly as it appears when published, without creating a preview deployment.

• Content changes: See new and edited pages.
• Configuration updates: View color, theme, logo, and other changes instantly.
• Navigation structure: Preview how navigation items appear in the sidebar and tables of contents.
• Component changes: See how components render with your content.

Live previews versus preview deployments

Both features let you preview changes before publishing, but serve different purposes.

	Live preview	Preview deployment
Speed	Instant	Requires build time
Access	In the editor	Shareable URL
Use case	View changes while editing	Share with team for review
Availability	While editor is open	Persists until closed

Use live preview for immediate feedback as you work. Create preview deployments when you need to share changes with your team or test on different devices.
