Does the preview tool actually work for others? It stopped working for me the instant I split things into multiple Composable methods/files.

It does not for me - after Rendering... is gone nothing is shown in the preview winodw

Thanks. I honestly didn't realize it was expected to be working :S

just to double-check, i'm not doing anything obviously wrong here, right?

compose plugin is installed and up to date, function is marked as `@Preview`, and there's no preview gutter icon nor tab.
this is the latest stable version of IntelliJ Ultimate and compose 1.0.0

In your particular example, it doesn’t work due to the function’s receiver parameter, no?

You appear to be right...maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding of things, then. How do we pass information to a `@Composable` function without being able to use a receiver parameter or arguments, since those disable previewing?

Or are you just SOL if your composable needs params?

You can create a `@Preview`  that passes the necessary params to the “real” `@Composable`
```@Composable
fun MyAwesomeComposable(text: String) {
    Text(text)
}

@Preview
@Composable
fun MyAwesomeComposablePreview() {
    MyAwesomeComposable("Hello there")
}```

I do the same as the above and it seems to work fine

I don't think its so much a workaround, its the intended use for @Preview

Actually I was checking with some recent RC and it did not work but now with 1.0 it does!
