Using Live Preview
The builder allows you to view and modify the layout of your screen live in the browser. When designing and building mobile apps, it's much better to separate layout from aesthetics and look directly at your phone for a sense of how it will actually look.
That's exactly what Live Preview allows you to do. View the screens in live mode on your phone, and they are instantly updated when you make changes from the builder.
