Peek Before You Publish With Live Preview

Now you can visualize and share content changes in real time right inside of your Directus instance.
Peek Before You Publish With Live Preview

Along with a ton of other great features and improvements from our 10.2 release, we're excited to unveil an exciting new feature that will make your work in Directus a whole lot easier – Live Preview.

With Live Preview, you will be able to preview changes to your content before publishing, providing you with the confidence and control you need.

How does Live Preview work?

It's simple! When you make changes to your content, whether it's editing text, updating images, or refining layouts, Directus Live Preview instantly generates a real-time preview of those changes.

This means you no longer have to rely solely on your imagination or hit the publish button to see how your content will appear. But that's not all – Live Preview takes collaboration to the next level. You can share your content previews with team members, stakeholders, and clients using a unique preview URL.

This empowers you to gather feedback, align with your stakeholders, and ensure everyone is on the same page before your content goes live. Say goodbye to countless iterations and misunderstandings, and hello to seamless collaboration!

What are the benefits of Live Preview?

With Directus Live Preview, you'll enjoy the following benefits:

  • Confidence. Get a sneak peek of how your content will look and feel before hitting that publish button. No more guessing or hoping for the best!

  • Efficient iterations. Fine-tune your content iteratively, as you can instantly see the impact of each change you make. No need to go back and forth, wasting time on endless revisions.

  • Streamlined collaboration. Share content previews with your team members, stakeholders, and clients using a preview URL. Everyone can review and provide feedback, ensuring alignment and smoother decision-making.

  • Client approval made easy. Impress your clients with professional, polished content previews. Gather their approval efficiently and gain their trust by involving them in the process.

  • Peace of mind. Avoid unexpected surprises and maintain control over your content. With Live Preview, you can spot and rectify any potential issues before they go live, saving you from embarrassment or costly mistakes.

Remember, you'll have the power to visualize, share, and refine your content effortlessly. Empower yourself and your team with this game-changing feature, and let creativity and collaboration flourish like never before. Get ready to preview greatness!
