Instant Preview During Development

Setting up a workspace used to involve a cycle: make a change, save, reload, see the result, make another change. For complex configurations — a multi-section form, a page layout with several panels, a workflow with branching logic — this cycle repeated dozens of times.

Instant preview removes the reload step entirely.

Changes Appear Immediately

When you're in the builder or editing configuration, the preview pane now updates in real time as you make changes. Add a field to a form and it appears in the preview. Reorder panels and the preview reorders them. Adjust a column width and the preview reflects the new layout.

No save-and-reload. No losing your place in the configuration after a page refresh. Changes are visible the moment you make them.

The Productivity Impact

The save-and-reload cycle has a hidden cost beyond the time it takes. Every reload breaks your flow — you leave the configuration view, wait for the page to load, assess the result, navigate back to the configuration, and resume. The interruption makes it harder to iterate quickly on complex layouts.

With instant preview, the feedback loop is continuous. You can fine-tune a layout the same way you'd adjust a design in a drawing tool — immediate visual feedback at every step.

What's Previewed

Instant preview covers:

• Form layouts and field order
• List column configuration
• Page and panel layouts
• Navigation structure
• Field types and formatting options

Definition-level changes — like changing a field type or adding an option to a select field — also update the preview without reload.

Building Confidence

Real-time preview also means fewer surprises in production. When you can see exactly what your configuration looks like as you build it, the gap between "what I configured" and "what users see" closes. What you build in the editor is what your team sees when they use the workspace.

Configuration should feel like crafting, not guessing. Instant preview makes that possible.
