title: "Live preview"
description: "Preview your site in real time as you edit, with continuous updates that render content, navigation, and configuration changes instantly."
keywords: ["editor", "preview", "live preview"]

Preview your site while you edit. Live previews render pages exactly as they look when published, and update as you make changes to content, navigation, and configuration.
## Open live preview
Click the <Icon icon="play" /> live preview button in the top bar to open a live preview in a new tab.
<Frame>
<img
src="/images/editor/live-preview-light.png"
alt="The live preview button in the toolbar."
className="block dark:hidden"
/>
<img
src="/images/editor/live-preview-dark.png"
alt="The live preview button in the toolbar."
className="hidden dark:block"
/>
</Frame>
<Note>
Live preview is only available for public sites.

## Live preview versus preview deployments
| | Live preview | Preview deployment |
|---|---|---|
| **Speed** | Instant | Requires a build |
| **Access** | Local URL | Shareable URL |
| **Use when** | Reviewing changes while editing | Sharing with your team for review |
| **Availability** | While the editor is open | As long as the branch exists |
Use live preview for immediate feedback while editing. When you need to share changes with your team or test on a different device, use a [preview deployment](/editor/branching-and-publishing#preview-your-changes).
