Rigi Documentation

Manage HTML previews

Rigi is designed to capture HTML previews of a live software application. An HTML preview is basically a template with the following characteristics:

  • Responsivity. The size of elements on the preview will adapt to the length of the text.

  • User interface text indexing. All texts that are shown in an HTML preview are indexed. This means that Rigi recognizes all strings by their unique string identifier. Rigi can replace the texts in an HTML preview with translations.

HTML previews are used in various scenarios, including:

Rigi can capture previews for various applications, such as:

  • Silverlight.

  • embedded software.

  • mobile apps.

The captured HTML previews for a project and the number of UI strings in each preview, are displayed in the Content > Previews section of the project menu.

  • To capture HTML previews, use the Capture previews button.

  • To download captured HTML previews, select the required previews and click the export_pack.png icon that is displayed above the previews list. A ZIP file containing the selected previews will be saved to your local machine.

  • To import HTML previews, click the Import previews button and select a ZIP file with previews on your local machine.

You can also edit and adjust existing previews. For details, see the Add contextual comments and Delete duplicated HTML previews guides.
