Creating a website is hard. Getting it right is even harder. Is the font right? Is the alignment off? We understand how difficult it can be and want to make it easy for you to preview and see recent site changes. In that spirit, here are two changes rolling out today that will help you get your NationBuilder pages and sites looking clean and polished.

New page preview

We want to give you an idea of exactly how your page will look on your website, so we're rolling out a new, full-page, preview feature. You can use the toolbar at the top to select the theme, page, and login status you'd like to preview.

If something doesn't look quite right, click the "Edit page template" link to make changes. It will redirect you right back to your template in the control panel.  You'll also see a similar tool in the theme preview section, with a link to edit your theme selection or custom theme files.

New page statuses

Sometimes when you create a page you don't want it to be available on your public site right away. Now we have a new page status—'hidden'—for just that purpose. Hidden pages will not be visible on your site at alleven from a direct link. They'll only be available in the preview tool for control panel users with specific edit permissions for those pages. To eliminate confusion, we've renamed the 'draft' status to 'unlisted'those pages will still be available through direct links, but will not be listed on your website.
