# Preview a Single Lightning Web Component in Your Browser (Generally Available)

Use Single Component Live Preview to run a real-time preview of a Lightning web component in your browser. This feature, which is now generally available, includes some changes since the beta release.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience in all editions.

**How:** This feature was previously called Local Dev for single components. For more information about how Local Dev feature names have changed, see [Local Dev is Now Salesforce Live Preview](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_lwc_live_preview.htm&release=260&type=5 "To better reflect the real-time nature of component, Experience site, and Lightning app previews, Local Dev is now called Live Preview.").

Also, the Salesforce CLI now automatically installs the Live Preview plug-in for you, so you no longer need to install it manually. If you try to run Live Preview commands without first enabling the feature, the CLI now prompts you to turn it on inside your IDE.
