Ever wanted to edit one of your website pages and see what your changes look like BEFORE you hit publish? Our new CMS Page Preview functionality means that now you can!
Page Preview is feature-based, meaning it will not automatically be enabled for your site. You can elect to turn it on for just your Stage site, your Live site, or both.
Once you enable Page Preview, you'll notice a few changes.
The first is the 'Drafts' counter in the CMS header. This shows a tally of all the pages you currently have in draft mode. Clicking it will open a pop-up which displays a list of pages you've not yet published changes for.
When you make a change to a page (adding or editing a widget, for example), it's instantly put into draft mode and you'll see some new options at the top right.
Revert - undo the changes you just made
Preview - opens the site in a new tab with your changes visible. You may need to login or navigate to the relevant page. You can toggle between draft and live mode to see the difference.
Publish - essentially like hitting 'Save', this pushes your changes live
Options → Copy Preview Link - you can also copy the preview link to send to a colleague
