Hi there! The Preview-in-browser doesn't work. I've tried several ways to get it, an nothing! I use a Macbook Pro and the DW is a 2022 version. Any tips? thanks a lot!

Make sure your site files reside on the primary hard drive, not networked or cloud drives.

Define your local site folder in DW by going to Site > New Site. See screenshot.

Open your browser.

In DW, right-click on open document tab and select Open in Browser. See screenshot.

If no browsers appear in the list, click Edit Browser List and define them now.

Hope that helps.

If you're on a Mac, check permissions.

Hi,

- Static or dynamic page?

- Have you set up a testing server in site settings?

- Try going into Dreamweaver preferences => real-time preview and check the box for 'default to static browser preview'

Is your testing server running?
