# Forcing a state or pseudo

When editing pseudo-classes such as :hover, you won't see the changes in real-time unless you perform that interaction (for :hover, for example, you'd have to hover over the element).

For that, you can force toggle a state or pseudo with CSS Pro by clicking on the "eye" button on the right corner of the state/pseudo:

<figure><img src="/files/guZgGE22i3Koptz0vsGw" alt=""><figcaption><p>Click on the eye to toggle the pseudo ON/OFF</p></figcaption></figure>
