# Preview with Live Preview (/docs/verdent-cloud/edit/live-preview)

> Open a live preview of your Cloud app before publishing.



Live Preview lets you test the generated app before it goes live. Template imports can open a preview automatically when a `previewUrl` is available. Links from the feed open in the appropriate preview surface for your device.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open preview">
    After the website or app finishes building, the Browser panel on the right normally opens the preview page automatically. You usually do not need to open it yourself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Interact with the app">
    Click through the app as a user would, then return to chat for changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refresh after edits">
    Use Refresh in the preview header to reload the current preview.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## If preview does not open [#if-preview-does-not-open]

If the Browser panel does not open automatically, send a short instruction in chat, for example:

```text
Open the preview
```

or

```text
Reopen the preview
```

The AI will bring the dev server back up if needed and show the preview in the Browser panel.

<Note>
  Preview links are documented as a preview address or preview URL. The docs intentionally do not hard-code any internal preview domain.
