      - Clicking on `Open in Browser` in the notification telling you: `Your service running on port 3000 is available`.

   - Notice port 3000 in the 'Ports' view is labeled "Hello Remote World." In `devcontainer.json`, you can set `"portsAttributes"`, such as a label for your forwarded ports and the action to be taken when the port is autoforwarded.

   **Open browser automatically:** As an example change, let's update the `portsAttributes` in the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` file to open a browser when our port is automatically forwarded.
 | 
			
		||||
   
 | 
			
		||||
   - Open the `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` file.
 | 
			
		||||
   - Modify your `portsAttributes` to include a new attribute (you can add it underneath the `label` attribute): `"onAutoForward": "openBrowser"`.
 | 
			
		||||
   - Modify the `"onAutoForward"` attribute in your `portsAttributes` from `"notify"` to `"openBrowser"`.

   - Press <kbd>F1</kbd> and select the **Remote-Containers: Rebuild Container** or **Codespaces: Rebuild Container** command so the modifications are picked up.
