Preview Code Changes Before Applying Fixes
Rider 2026.2 lets you preview quick-fixes and context actions before applying them, making suggested code changes easier to review.
Rider by JetBrains is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) tailored for .NET developers. Combining the power of ReSharper with the IntelliJ platform, it delivers a fast and feature-rich experience for editing, debugging, and testing .NET, ASP.NET, Unity, and more. Rider supports a wide array of languages and project types, allowing developers to work seamlessly across codebases. With intelligent code analysis, version control integration, and a responsive UI, Rider helps developers maintain high code quality and productivity in diverse development environments.
The Rider 2026.2 update introduces intention previews, giving developers the ability to see exactly how a quick-fix or context action will modify their code before applying it. Previewing changes directly from the code actions menu includes a diff view with syntax and identifier highlighting, making it easy to compare the before and after states at a glance. The feature is particularly useful for larger refactorings or fixes that span multiple files, helping developers understand the full impact of a suggested change while reducing uncertainty before it is applied.
