Use the Webview

The Webview preview pane in the Editor displays a preview for each branch. Any time you make a change in the Editor, the change is reflected in the Webview. You can disable auto-sync, view different screen sizes, reload the page or restart, navigate the pages, and close the Webview to expand the Editor.

If you want to see how a page renders on different screen sizes, click the Toggle device view icon.

You can use the back and forward arrow icons to navigate pages in the Editor.

Back and forward icons

The back and forward arrow icons consider page view history, which starts over when the Webview is reloaded or restarted.
