Auto-Run Configuration¶

Control whether panel-live editors execute code automatically on page load using the auto-run attribute.

Auto-run enabled (default)¶

Set auto-run="true" (or omit it — true is the default) to run code as soon as the editor loads:

import panel as pn pn.panel("This ran automatically on page load.").servable()

Use this for demos and showcases where you want visitors to see results immediately.

Auto-run disabled¶

Set auto-run="false" to require the user to click Run before code executes:

import panel as pn pn.panel("You clicked Run to see this!").servable()

Use this for tutorials and learning exercises where you want the reader to review the code first.

Fence syntax¶

```{.panel mode="editor" auto-run="true"}
# runs on page load
```

```{.panel mode="editor" auto-run="false"}
# waits for user to click Run
```
