Before you begin, make sure that your site is set up for CMS content. In a CMS workspace, a content admin must add the site as a channel. Then, from the Pages menu in Experience Builder, create a CMS Content page for the content type that you want to preview. For users to preview content, the admin must add them as site contributors.

For users to preview content in an enhanced CMS workspace as a guest user, the site must be enabled for public access.

Previewing content in a CMS workspace is different from previewing content in an enhanced CMS workspace.

Note You can’t preview content on Experience Cloud sites made from these templates.

- Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce
- Help Center
- Customer Account Portal

In enhanced CMS workspaces, you can preview content only on enhanced LWR sites.

1. Open the Digital Experiences app from the App Launcher in Lightning Experience.
2. In the workspace, click the content title.
3. On the content details page:
    
    - In a CMS workspace, choose the content version that you want to preview, and click **Preview** to open a separate preview tab.
    - In an enhanced CMS workspace, click **Preview** to open the preview window.

    Note
    
    If your content references an image that has an external URL, add the domain of the hosted image to your trusted URL list in Setup. Otherwise, the preview doesn’t appear correctly.
4. To see the content in a different view mode, such as desktop or mobile, select an option in the Preview Device menu.
5. To view the content in a different site that’s connected to the workspace, select the site in the Channel menu.
6. In an enhanced CMS workspace, to view the content as a guest user or an authenticated user, select an option in the Preview As menu.
