Live Preview
When editing settings, changes are previewed in real time on the widget behind the settings modal. As you change any setting — header variant, visibility toggles, design theme — the widget immediately reflects the new configuration.
- Preview button — click the eye icon in the modal footer to peek at the widget with your live changes. Hover over it to temporarily fade the settings dialog and see the widget behind it.
- Changes are not saved until you click Apply Changes. Click Cancel to discard all preview changes and revert to the previous configuration.
INFO
Settings are typically configured by your organization's administrator through the widget configuration system. Individual users cannot change these settings.
