I am trying to turn on the Live Web Preview feature of Web Essentials 2012 for when editing CSS files in Visual Studio. Everywhere I find the following instructions how to do that with none of them working for me:

1) Hit Ctrl + Alt + Enter -> nothing happens;

2) Right-click your web project item in Solution Explorer and click "Live Web Preview" to show the window and load the website. -> no such button exists.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Missin option for live preview.

    Guys, when you close a question, at least please comment on what is not clear. – Alexander Popov Jan 18 '13 at 19:23
  • I think you may be confusing Web Essentials with Web Essentials 2012 – Jude Fisher Jan 23 '13 at 11:00
  • As far as I know, the former is for VS2010 and the latter - for VS2012? – Alexander Popov Jan 24 '13 at 13:24
  • Yes, but I don't think there is a feature called "Live Web Preview" in WE 2012 - the only documentation I can find describing such a feature relates to the original WE (for VS2010) – Jude Fisher Jan 24 '13 at 15:10

    This is a legitimate question, should not have been closed. – Willem D'Haeseleer May 03 '13 at 06:41

    The alternative for this in VS 2012 is the page inspector: http://www.asp.net/vnext/overview/visual-studio/visual-studio-2012-page-inspector – Willem D'Haeseleer May 03 '13 at 07:08

    The Live Web Preview is now in the Page Inspector. See Mads Kristensen's comment here: http://webessentials.uservoice.com/forums/140520-general/suggestions/3740980-live-web-preview-allow-default-browser-instead-o – Jani Hyytiäinen Jul 30 '14 at 07:05

    Agreed with all the other comments, this question should not have been closed. Just because this relates to an older version of VS, does not mean you should close it. The question is very clear: "How to turn on Live Web Preview in Web Essentials 2012 in Visual Studio 2012?" – Rogala Mar 14 '15 at 13:29
