Yes of course, that works, but you have to scroll manually.

Maybe I don't write the way other people do, and that's why I need automatic sync and most people don't: I don't write linearly, I write "all over the place".

I constantly go up and down a document when I'm writing something: what's getting written at the bottom impacts what was written at the top. Also I think of better ways of saying something once I've written it, and once I do I need to make changes.

If, every time I change sections, I need to scroll the preview, it's incredibly distracting/annoying (or, useless: but then it's better to have no preview at all).

Also, once a document is of any serious length (say, over 3 pages), finding the part where you are in the preview can get a little difficult.
