Previewing a component

When configuring a component, once the minimum configuration is established, you may be able to display a preview of the end user view.

The preview is designed to show the default display for the component.

Not all of the component functions are necessarily available. For example, you can't print or export from the component preview.

To preview the component:

  1. To display the component preview, click the Show Preview button.

    The button is displayed at the bottom of the component edit view, and is only enabled when the component is configured enough for the preview to display.

    The Show Preview button changes to Hide Preview. Depending on the complexity of the component, an Update button is displayed.

    The component preview is displayed below the preview buttons.

  2. When the preview is displayed, to update the preview to reflect changes to the configuration, click Update.

    If there is no Update button, then the preview is updated automatically whenever you make changes to the component.

  3. To hide the preview, click Hide Preview.

    The Hide Preview button changes back to Show Preview, and the Update button is removed.
