Can't Preview Changes Before Updating Page

I'm trying to preview my changes to a page but when I click the preview icon, it one doesn't show the changes, and two displays the page in a WP post setting.

I'm using the latest versions of Brizy and the Astra theme.

I've actually never had any luck using the preview on any Brizy built sites.  I always have to update the page to see any of my changes but that makes them live.  Other page builders, you can just click the preview button to see your changes before updating the page.  Am I missing something here with Brizy?

  Hi Chad,

  Thank you for contacting us.

  In Brizy builder you should save first the changes and then preview the page, only in this case you can see all the changes that have been made on your page in the preview mode. If you don't save the changes then you will not see them in the preview mode. 

  Best regards, Nelea.

  Nelea,

  But if I save the changes before being able to preview (ie click the update button), then the changes become live on the frontend.  Then that's obviously not good, since I can't fix anything that's wrong before.  Or am I missing something here.

  Hi Chad,

  Yes, you're right, if you save the changes then they appear on the live website. Sorry, but in this way works Brizy builder. I can only add your request as a future option and our manager will investigate this idea.  Also, I can suggest to duplicate / save your page and work in the Draft mode, in this way you can make changes and they will not appear on the live website. 

  Best regards, Nelea.

  Nelea,

  Thanks for clearing that up.  Any other page builder or even when doing a blog post you can check your work before publishing live.  That seems like it would be a main feature to have in your builder.  I always thought I was missing something.  I've been using Brizy for a couple of years now.  

  I'll do the round about way of duplicating that page but that's not very good for workflow and as not being able to preview the web page before publishing.  Hopefully Brizy will consider this as a feature and get the feature in since it's standard every where else.

  Thanks

  Chad
