Previews are an important feature of Jetpack Compose that you can use to verify Composables without having to run the app. In addition to just viewing the default preview, you can use the @Preview annotation to test your Composables against different configuration sets, font sizes, themes, and datasets. You can even preview Compose animations and also use Inpect Mode to account for runtime behavior.
