## Preview Mode

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d-kuro/kubectl-fuzzy/main/docs/assets/preview.jpg)

You can use the `--preview` or `-P` option to display a YAML of the Kubernetes object in a fuzzy finder selector.
Or you can use environment variables. `KUBE_FUZZY_PREVIEW_ENABLED=true`
You can switch the display to YAML or JSON with the `--preview-format` option.

e.g.

```shell
kubectl fuzzy describe deployment --preview
or
kubectl fuzzy describe deployment -P
```

The Kubernetes object displayed in the preview window is simplified by default.
Some metadata and statuses have been removed.
Use the `--raw-preview` option to display the unsimplified object.
