Preview

Pages can be previewed prior to publishing, both in your browser, and in other browsers running on other platforms. Immediately after editing and saving any page, a rendered preview is displayed in your browser, with the option to see a preview in other browsers. You can also preview any page at any time by clicking on the "Preview" icon next to any file displayed within the "Content" tab. The rendered preview of a page will display all graphics and server-side includes. Other server-side scripting code will not be displayed in "Page Preview" mode.

Page Preview

Simply edit any page, then click save in the editor and you'll be presented with a preview of the page. Additionally, you can click the "Preview" icon associated with any page in the list of "Pages" within the "Content" tab.

My Browser

The default of any Page Preview is to render the page in your browser. Note the tabbed interface in the upper right corner area of the preview window with "My Browser" active.

If the page is not checked out, and you have editing rights for the page, you will be presented with the option to "Check Out" the page for editing.

Multiple Browsers

Clicking the "Multi-Browser" tab in the upper right corner of the preview window switches to the multi-browser preview mode. Simply select unselect the browser you don't care to preview your page with, then click "Submit".

A new window or tab will appear showing the status of your request and will auto refresh every 10 seconds until the process is completed. This process can take a few minutes as it completes your request and creates screenshots of the page in the different browsers you selected. When completed, thumbnail images of your page will appear showing you what the page will look like in the selected browsers. Just click on the thumbnail image to view the screenshot, then click again if desired to see your page rendered life-size.

 

Multi-Output Preview

These enhanced capabilities make it easier for authorized users to preview and edit various file types before publishing. The new capabilities allow contributors to preview pages rendered with different file type formats, including HTML, PDF, RTF, CSV, XML, and mobile. If an XSL template is designed to output multiple file types, the Multi-Output Preview provides the ability to view the outputs in real time before publishing.
 
Preview buttons for the various file types are accessible at the top of the Page Preview window.
Different outputs can be achieved by adding an xsl document to the pcf. Multiple xsl files are needed - one for each output type. Below is an example of what the tabs will look like in the Page Preview window for each page with the added xsl’s.

 
The following is a list of code snippets that you will need to place in your individual xsl’s for each output type desired.
