Preview Settings

Configure the in-app web preview for HTML, Markdown, and other files.

General

Setting	Description
Preview Mode	In-App: Opens in the built-in browser. Browser: Opens in the system default browser.
Use Current File	Use the currently open file for preview instead of the default (index.html).
Disable In-App Caching	Disable browser caching in the in-app preview for fresh content on each refresh.
Show Console Toggler	Show a button to toggle the JavaScript console in the preview.

Server Configuration

Setting	Description
Host	Hostname/IP for the preview server (default: localhost).
Server Port	Port number for the local preview server.
Preview Port	Port number used when opening the preview.

Different Ports

If Preview Port and Server Port are different, Acode will not start its own server. Instead, it will open the preview directly in the browser or in-app browser.

This is useful when you are running a server manually (e.g., React dev server, Vite, etc.) in the terminal.
