Preview, Code, and Admin

The panel next to the chat has three tabs: Preview, Code, and Admin.

Preview

The Preview tab shows your running app and updates as devlo edits it. Use its toolbar to check a mobile width or share the link.

The preview lives at https://preview-<project-id>.apps.devlo.app.

Preview links are public

Anyone with the link can open the preview, and opening it can wake the project. On the Free plan, visitors can’t always wake an older project from the link; you can always wake it from the chat. For a lasting public address, publish the project.

If the project is asleep, select Wake Up or send a message. If the preview doesn’t load, see Troubleshoot projects.

Code tab Paid plans (projects)

Browse and edit your app’s files in the Code tab, then select Save. In projects it needs a paid plan; in repository chats it works on every plan.

Admin tab

The Admin tab is only in projects. It holds the project’s settings, such as its custom domain and its database and secrets.

Admin > Knowledge holds standing instructions devlo follows in this project, such as brand colors or coding rules, so you don’t repeat them in every message.
