 > **Sandbox stage** — Actively iterating on the design and implementation. Features, interfaces and workflows may change. Not intended for production use.
 
+[Try the hosted sandbox](https://openmbee-view-editor.vercel.app/app). Open a local project or choose **Load example** to explore the built-in model. The hosted app is deployed manually and may lag behind `develop`.

 OpenMBEE View Editor brings source editing, named model views and reviewed graphical authoring into one local workbench. Open a multi-file model, inspect its structure and connections, review supported edits, then download the source and compatible diagram positions as one project.
 
 **Source owns model semantics. Presentation owns geometry.** Renaming a part or connecting ports produces a reviewed source transaction; moving a symbol changes its position. The application runs locally in browser workers and requires no application backend.
