With the React SDK, you can use live previews to render edits in your data model without publishing them.

Although you can fetch Builder's Data Models using Content API directly like a typical API resource, with the <BuilderContent> component, you can use features such as live editing, previewing, and A/B testing of your Data Models within the Builder Visual Editor, all while using standard JS/TS syntax.

To get the most out of this document, you should already be familiar with:

Live previewing is crucial when working with custom fields, data models, and structured data in Builder. It offers several benefits.

  • Real-time updates by displaying changes immediately in the Visual Editor without publishing.
  • Improved user experience to meet your expectations with an intuitive experience.
  • Iterate more quickly on your content and designs more efficiently.
  • Make sure your Sections, Pages, and structured data are exactly as intended before publishing.

Live previewing can support a smoother experience, with changes in Custom Fields, Data Models, or Structured Data updates in real-time.

For more information on the variety of custom fields, visit Custom Fields.
