# Preview data

The Data Preview panel shows live table data from the app in a dedicated panel alongside your Terminal and Output panels, so you can check the shape of your data without leaving `Visual Studio Code`. The Data Preview panel stays synchronized with your selection in the data model diagram.

Information noteNot applicable to QVF script assets.

Do the following:

1. Open the data model diagram for an application. See [Visualize the data model](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/QlikCode/code-extension-visualize-data-model.htm).

2. In the `VS Code` Panel (see [`VS Code`'s user interface documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/getting-started/userinterface)), go to Data Preview.

3. Choose which table you want to preview, either from the data model diagram or the Data Preview section itself.

   If the script changed since the last reload, `Qlik Code` warns you that the data preview may be stale.
