Xamarin.Forms Previewer not exist

I couldn't find or start Xamarin.Forms Previewer using VS Community 2019 update 16.9.2. As you can see from the attached screenshots after I've built the project I can't find away to toggle to XAML preview mode even the View Designer from context menu isn't working also Shift + F7. Also I can't fin Xamarin.Forms Previewer under View Menu >> Other Windows

As far as I know, there is no XAML Previewer in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9.2. For now, it use the Hot Reload insead and provide a live visual tree to receive a real-time view of your running XAML code. It shows a tree view of the UI elements of your running Xamarin.Forms application.

When you debug you project, by default, it appears on the IDE's left. If you don't see it, use Debug > Windows > Live Visual Tree to show it.

I have reported this problem for Microsoft team, maybe it will be restored in the next version, please wait a minute.
