Updating the Preview Page

For this to work the live preview page needs to be listening for the events. On the preview page add code with the following bootstrap:

window.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
    const { type, path, values } = event.data;
    if (type === 'directus-preview') {
        // do something creative
    }
}, false);
