Realtime Preview
Take full control of your application without running publication.
Real-time preview allows users to see how their app looks and functions before deploying it to the live environment.

🔔 The preview doesn't push your changes to the actual application. To send changes to the deployed app, click the "Push" button in the AppMaster Web Designer and run the project deployment in AppMaster Studio the way you generally do.
Run preview

Before running the preview, you need to select the data to display in the interface:
- Mock data
- Data of target deployment plan
Mock Data

Using mock data allows users to create a simulated app version, complete with dummy data added while UI design. This is useful for testing UI, as it will enable users to identify any issues with the displayed data in the app before deploying it to the live environment.
Data of deployment Plan
To run the preview with deployment data, click the Preview button on the right top and select the target deploy plan in the opened dropdown.
