Code Editor

On the left hand side of your screen, you have a code editor. This is where you define your report in markdown. The code editor is enriched for data development with:
  • Slash commands: Type a / to list components, accept suggestions with tab.
  • Autocompletion: For components and SQL fences, accept suggestions with tab.
  • Syntax highlighting: For markdown, SQL, and components.
  • Validation: Invalid code is underlined in red, hover to see errors, and click “Fix” for AI assistance.

Preview

As you modify the code in the editor, the preview will update in real time, including rerunning SQL queries and rerendering charts when you make changes. Nothing is published until you click the “Publish” button in the Share menu.
