Add a preview feature for the Editor

[ndiego]

What problem does this address?

Hi and thanks for a brilliant plugin!

One thing I’m missing, when working with a lot of different visibility options on different blocks is to be able to preview the page under certain conditions.

Like if I have a bunch of blocks that are scheduled to show at a certain date and time, other blocks scheduled to be hidden at another time, and other blocks visible only to people logged in etc. Then it would be awesome to be able to preview the page with specific conditions. Like “logged in user at 9.30 march 12th 2022”, and see what the page would actually look like then.

Kind regards, Simon

Received another request for "preview" functionality in the Editor, specifically for the Screen size control. Consider a limited preview functionality for the next release focused on Screen size, and then expand to other visibility controls.

Hello, Is there a way in the CMS editor view to do the following:

I have two “story” blocks. I use the Date and Time controls to have the live block “turn off” Monday at 2pm. The second block is set to “turn on” Monday at 2pm. Once we hit Monday at 2pm, is there a way to color the block in the CMS that is now OFF, to color it yellow or grey? The idea is that the site editors can quickly see which blocks are no longer “live” on the page.
