    Hi everybody,
    I have a curiosity:
    Is it possible to see preview of a promoted custom Qwidget?

    I think no, but maybe there is a way that I don’t know.
    Example: seeing in the first image the layout of the second image. WidgetFormTop is promoted to FormTop.

      In general, no.
      A "promoted" widget can only be previewed as the base widget it is promoted from.
      To "see preview of a custom widget", you'll need to write your own qt designer plugin.
      https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/designer-creating-custom-widgets.html
      That's quite not convenient and extra work.
      I think you wouldn't want to do it...

        @Bonnie
        Thanks very much.
        I don't know this way, you are right, it is not convenient… but could be interesting in some occasion.

        Thanks
