The viewer
Last updated:
The viewer is where you see and work with your files inside Palette Desktop, without switching to another app. Open a file from the file panel and it shows up in the viewer.
What you can do
- Read and edit markdown. Markdown files open in a clean editor you can type into directly, and they stay plain markdown on disk. See Editing markdown in the viewer.
- Preview HTML. HTML files render right in the viewer, and you can open them in a browser or share them. See HTML files.
- View your other files. It also previews files like PDFs, images, and code, and shows the red and green diff when you review a session's changes.
Why it matters
Your work stays in one place. You do not need a separate markdown app to read your notes, or a browser tab to check a prototype. You edit, preview, and review right next to the chat that produced the work.
