Get to know Spotlight's live preview

When creating or editing a feed, the posts from your Instagram accounts or hashtags (on the right of the preview) will instantly appear in Spotlight's live preview area.

As you add or change the sources of posts and customize your feed, you will see every change instantly reflected in the live preview.

The live preview area

Within the live preview area, you will see a number of elements that are described below.

1
The number of posts being displayed and the number of posts available for the selected sources can be seen at the top left. When using the "Load more" button in the preview area, a Reset option will appear beside this text to reset your feed to its original configuration. 
2
At the top of the feed, in the center, you will see three device icons - desktop, tablet, and phone. Use these to preview the feed on each device and customize the design per device type to make sure it's fully responsive just the way you want it.
3
On the top right you will see Choose a template or, if you've already selected a template, you will see the template name and whether you've customized it from its original state. Clicking on this text will open the template selection modal and you can switch between templates at any time.

The entire preview is interactive, so you can hover and click on the posts to see exactly what your visitors will experience.

Note: Although this preview is a direct representation of what you will see when you embed the feed on your website, certain theme styles cannot be recreated in Spotlight's live preview. Styling elements such as fonts and font sizes (if left as default) may differ when embedded on a page, post, or widget, depending on your theme's setup.
