Previewing a Page Before Publishing

How to use Preview to see your changes without making them live.

Preview is one of the most important tools in your editing workflow. It lets you see exactly what your changes will look like to a visitor — without making anything live. Get in the habit of always previewing before you publish.

How to Preview from Inside BeaverBuilder

  1. While editing a page in BeaverBuilder, look for the Done button in the top right corner.
  2. Click the small arrow (▼) next to the Done button to open a dropdown.
  3. Click Preview.
  4. A new browser tab opens showing a frontend preview of the page with your current changes.
  5. Check the page carefully — text, images, spacing, and links.
  6. Close the preview tab when you’re done and return to BeaverBuilder.
  7. Click Done > Publish if everything looks good, or continue editing.

How to Preview from the WordPress Editor

  1. From the Pages list, hover over a page and click Edit (not “Edit with Beaver Builder”).
  2. In the top-right Publish panel, click Preview Changes.
  3. A new tab opens with a preview.

Check Mobile Too

Many of your visitors are on phones. After previewing on desktop, resize your browser window to a narrow width to simulate a mobile view — or right-click the preview page and choose Inspect to access your browser’s device simulator.

Important: Preview Doesn’t Make Changes Live

Preview is completely safe. No matter how many times you preview, nothing goes live until you click Publish or Update. If the preview looks wrong, just close the tab and keep editing.

💡 Tip: If your preview doesn’t look right — for example, you’re still seeing the old version — try clearing your browser cache or opening the preview in an incognito/private window.
