The preview action creates html and css format files in a temporary folder on the user's machine. For security, the Adobe XD API does not allow that the plugin open the browser to display local content. For this reason, we created the Fireblade live preview tool.
This limitation only affects the preview action. It does not affect the export action, because the Fireblade plugin in the export action only generates content in a folder previously selected by the user and does not attempt to open the browser to display this generated content.
After performing the preview action, if the Fireblade live preview tool is not active, a window with information on how to download will appear.
Live preview download window.
If you already have the Fireblade live preview tool installed, just run, otherwise install and run to make the preview action work.

The background color of the artboard and login form has been changed so that you can see the artboard boundaries in the generated content. This will make it easier to see responsiveness actions in the next steps.
When using the preview action, Fireblade's live preview tool will always try to be active after the Fireblade server activity has finished.
