Before you share a form anywhere — your website, a public link, the Members portal, or an external embed — it helps to see exactly what visitors will see. Cornerspot's Live Preview renders your form in real time, right next to the builder, so you can catch issues before you publish. This guide shows how to use it.
Where the preview lives
Open any form to land on its Build view. The page is split in two: the Builder on the left, where you add and arrange fields, and the Live Preview on the right, which renders the form with the same widget your visitors use — exactly as it will look to someone filling it out.
The preview updates as you work
The Live Preview is not a separate step you have to refresh — it tracks your changes as you make them. Add a field, change the layout, edit a label, or adjust a style, and the preview re-renders instantly.
1. Add a field and watch it appear
Click + Add Field in the Builder and choose a field — for example Phone. The moment it's added, the new field shows up in the Live Preview in its place.
2. Preview the confirmation message
Every submission ends with a confirmation — the message someone sees right after they submit. The preview header has a Form / Confirmation toggle: click Confirmation to preview that success state, so you can check the exact wording your visitors will read.
3. Switch back to the form view
Click Form to switch the preview back to the form itself. You can flip between the two as often as you like while you fine-tune your form.
What the preview reflects
Use the Live Preview to check the things that matter to whoever fills out your form:
- Field widths and order — how fields line up side by side and top to bottom.
- Required markers — which fields are marked as required.
- The submit button text — the exact label visitors will tap.
- The confirmation message — what visitors see right after they submit.
- The layout and styles — stacked, horizontal, or floating labels, plus colors, borders, and spacing.
When you're happy with it
Once the Live Preview looks exactly right, you can place the form on a website page, or open Publish & Share to share it as a link, in your Members portal, or as an external embed — confident it will look the same wherever it lands. (Each publishing channel also has its own preview, so you can fine-tune the styling per channel.)
