Use local preview to review a hub or captured demo before your audience sees it.

​
Preview a hub

From inside a hub, run: 
inkly dev
The CLI starts a local preview server, watches your files, and prints the URL to open. By default, it starts at http://localhost:3000. If that port is taken, Inkly uses the next available port. Choose a port when needed: 
inkly dev --port 3333

​
Preview a captured demo folder

You can preview a bare exported demo folder without adding it to a hub first: 
inkly dev ./out/onboarding
This is useful right after inkly capture stop or inkly capture-html stop.

​
What to check

  • The demo opens without validation errors.
  • Each step shows the right screen.
  • Labels, annotations, and pointer positions make sense.
  • Private or draft demos look correct before publishing.
