Testing your pages with Edge Inspect is even easier than the setup. Simply browse using your Chrome browser, and all devices that have been connected will follow along. This enables you to test the appearance and behavior of any page on a variety of devices at the same time. Plus, Edge Inspect will keep your device from going to sleep, so you no longer need to unlock the device when you want to test the page. You aren't limited to just browsing within a single tab; Edge Inspect will display the content within the current tab as you switch across tabs.
Edge Inspect also lets you view pages in full screen mode, removing the default Edge Inspect application chrome. To activate this feature, within the Chrome extension, click the icon for "show full screen on devices." You should see the top bar disappear on all devices browsing via Edge Inspect, and clicking the icon again within the extension will make it reappear.
Of course, browsing live web pages is useful, but most of the time you will be developing locally. (For more details on how to use Edge Inspect with virtual hosts, the Edge Inspect Team Blog has a number of posts on virtual hosts.) Thankfully, Edge Inspect fully supports browsing on your localhost, letting you test applications as you develop them.
Not surprisingly, Edge Inspect cannot load files browsed via file:/// as the file doesn't exist on your devices. As you might expect, if you are browsing password-protected pages, you will need to authenticate on each device. If you want to refresh the page or open the page within the browser on the device, simply click the icon in the upper right hand corner of the Edge Inspect window on the device. As a tip, however, if your site uses HTTP Basic Authentication you can browse your URL using the format http://login:password@my.site.com/ to avoid re-authenticating on each device.
If you want to refresh the page or open the page within the browser on the device, simply click the icon in the upper right corner of the Edge Inspect window on the device. Alternatively, you can also click the refresh icon on the Chrome extension to refresh all connected devices simultaneously. Refresh will clear the cache on the device and request the freshest new assets from the server.
