Should I leave my MacBook air plugged in when convenient to preserve battery life?

I have a new Macbook Air 2020. I want to know if the official recommendation is to keep it plugged into the charger when I can, or whether it is best to use the battery and only deploy the charger when the battery gets low (eg 20%). I ask the question so that I can preserve the battery life.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

You may do either. Keeping it on a charger will not hurt the battery as long as you periodically use the battery as needed.
