Previewing bound values

While you design, the editor can show a preview row from any dataset so bound objects are not empty placeholders.

Picking a preview dataset

  • Open the Preview panel in the editor.
  • Pick a dataset that uses the same schema you bound to.
  • For list datasets, pick a row.

The design area updates immediately — text shows the row's value, images swap to the bound asset.

Swapping rows

Click Next / Previous in the preview panel to cycle through rows of a list dataset. This is the fastest way to check edge cases: very long names, missing images, non-Latin characters.

Preview is decorative only

Preview values never leak to on-air. The production's dataset (not the preview dataset) is what the renderer uses when a graphic is taken. If you change a dataset during preview, the change is saved as with any edit elsewhere.
