# nvALT

[nvALT][nvalt] starts streaming as soon as it is open. You do not enable a separate command inside nvALT.

## Streaming Preview [streaming-preview]

1. Open nvALT.
2. In Marked, choose File > New > Streaming Preview.

Marked shows a live preview of whichever note you are editing, and updates as you type.

## Open the current note from the Share menu [open-the-current-note-from-the-share-menu]

nvALT has a **Share** menu in the upper right corner of the editor. When the [Marked Share extension](Share_Extension.md) is enabled, choose **Marked** from that menu to open the current note in Marked directly from the file.

See [Enable the Share extension](Share_Extension.md#enable-the-share-extension) to turn it on in System Settings and add Marked to the Share menu.

nvALT also stores notes as files on disk. See [Folder Watching](Folder_Watching.md) if you want Marked to follow the most recently saved file in a notebook folder.
