# wix app preview

<blockquote class="warning">

**Deprecated**

The Legacy Wix CLI for Apps is deprecated and no longer receives updates or new features. New projects should use the [Wix CLI for Apps](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/about-the-wix-cli-for-apps).

- To find out which structure a project uses, see [Determine Which CLI Your Project Uses](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/project-development/determine-which-cli-your-project-uses).
- To migrate an existing app to the new Wix CLI, see [Migrate a Legacy CLI App to the New Wix CLI](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/migrate-an-app-to-the-new-cli/migrate-an-app-from-the-legacy-cli/migrate-a-legacy-cli-app-to-the-new-wix-cli).

</blockquote>

Creates an online preview of your built app and provides an inline link to an app preview URL in the console.

An app preview URL is a URL you can share with team members who are [collaborators](fallback::https://support.wix.com/en/article/inviting-people-to-contribute-to-your-site) on your development site. It directs to a dashboard page where they can preview and test your app.

By default, the code for your app preview is hosted on Wix's servers.

## Usage

```bash
wix app preview [flags]
```
