Editor Core

Class: PreviewLayer

Granite.author. PreviewLayer

The Preview Layer provides a quick preview of the content page to the author.

Among with the Edit Layer, it's one of the two main Layers of the Editor.

WARNING: The Preview Layer sets the WCMMode to "Preview" but doesn't refresh the content from the ContentFrame. In other words, if you have some WCMMode rendering sensitive components, you'll have to refresh the Editor manually after switching to Preview (alternatively, you could also use the "View as Published" top toolbar action)
