[SOLVED] How to preview pending changes to item ?

Hello,

Is there a way to preview a published item when it has been changed, BEFORE it is saved (& published again)?
An editor, who makes changes to an item would be interested in previewing the changes before publishing them.
I understand there is an extension called Better Preview, but this extension does not support FlexiContent.

So what are the options?
Thanks for your help!

not possible ... you can check better preview plugin (nonumber) if it compatible with flexicontent

Better Preview does not support FlexiContent unfortunately. Already gone that way...

Funny, I thought all editors wanted to preview their changes before publishing them. How do they solve this then? Publish to a staging site and then move the changes to the production site? Seems like double work. Any suggestions?

Hello

in component parameters, inside Workflow TAB, disable parameter "Auto-Approve"
The above will display an extra option in item form "Publish Changes"

- edit the item and make changes
- set "Publish Changes" to NO and save the item
- click "Preview" button (NOTE: you will need to login to frontend to be able to preview)

Wohooo! THIS is what I wanted! Thank you thank you thank you! :silly: :woohoo: :side:
Now, tell me, what's the difference between the first/last preview options I get?
(see image) The first and last preview options seem to show the same page (I can see the URL is different, but what is the difference?)

Hello

usually 1st and 3rd button is the same version

- because by default the item form will load latest (you can click to load some other version by using the "versions" TAB)
the middle button is of course what it says the "active" version that the public sees
