How can I make Codesandbox stop updating the browser preview while I type?

I turned off auto save in VS Code, but still Codesandbox updates the preview pane instantly, all the time, showing long lists of syntax errors while I'm working on the code.

  1. Click top-left Icon
  2. File > Preferences > CodeSandbox Settings
  3. In the Dialog click the Preview tab (in the left side pane)
  4. Uncheck Preview on edit

It's funny the dialog's name is very inconsistent with the menu item's name which had opened it.

Never mind, I finally discovered the Preferences item on the right. Same icon as Configuration item on the left. That may have caused the confusion...

  • The menu to toggle this can currently be found in the top left corner by clicking File>Preferences>CodeSandbox Settings>Preview. Or in the top right corner by clicking Preferences>Preview. – KhalfaniW Nov 15 '22 at 04:29
