# Exploring Lux Lab

Lux Lab provides Lux aware intelligence and built-in commands to help you create and extend Lux experiences. You build those experiences from pages and widgets tailored to fit your needs.

## Lux Lab capabilities

Lux Lab enables you to create and extend Lux experiences. With built-in Lux aware intelligence, you can run commands from the title bar and the integrated terminal. You can also preview entire applications and check which files are relevant to your work from inside the Project Explorer. Create experiences, pages, and widgets that support tailored functionality in your Lux applications.

## Lux Lab workflow

1.  You create a new experience or extend an existing experience.
2.  You create or extend pages and widgets, either manually or with agentic development tools.
3.  You preview your changes from within Lux Lab.
4.  You deploy your changes.
