Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, it's an improvement to display updates in real time, without having to refresh the page.
Describe the solution you'd like:
I would like to request a new feature for the extension that would greatly improve the workflow. Currently, when we make changes to the code, we have to manually reload the page to see the changes. Could you implement an automatic update similar to Live Server Or does this function already exist and is it defective?
Describe alternatives you've considered:
I'm using it the way it is, always clicking the Reload button when I need to preview the changes.
Additional context:
The following video shows how it is currently working:

Research direction
Start by tracing the extension's existing Reload button and how the preview is connected to Microsoft Edge. Define how code changes should trigger updates without manual page refreshes, then verify the preview reflects edits automatically while preserving the current reload behavior.
