The Microsoft Adaptive Card Previewer is an extension for Visual Studio Code. It uses the latest rendering stack for Microsoft Teams to provide a more accurate preview of Adaptive Cards. You can open a side-by-side preview to view changes live, toggle between light, dark, and high-contrast themes.

Adaptive Card Previewer supports:

• Instant preview of adaptive cards in VS Code editor through CodeLens or Command Palette.

  

• Switch between different themes (Light/Dark/High-Contrast) to preview your cards so you can design with confidence.

• Separation of data from the layout in an Adaptive Card template language. Use the command Adaptive Card: New Data File to add a data file for a template. This will generate an empty file where you can bind data to your adaptive card template.

• Seamless integration with Teams Toolkit that allows a Just-In-Time installation of Adaptive Card Previewer when you are iterating on adaptive cards generated from Teams Toolkit project creation.

• Configure default theme through Visual Studio Code extension settings adaptiveCardPreviewer.defaultTheme.

Some features of an Adaptive Card are not supported:

• People picker
• Dynamic type-ahead search
• User mention
• Image stage view
• Full-width control

Please stay tuned for updates as we continue to expand the capabilities of Adaptive Card Previewer.
