You can launch the Live Preview whenever and from wherever you are on your Universal App Admin.

The Live Preview button is on the screen's top-right, next to the Help Center. It will launch a new tab where you can see the front end of your Universal App (UA) as a logged-in reader.

How to launch Live Preview from inside the Universal App admin


Depending on which menu you are in the UA admin when you launch it, the Live Preview will take you to the Reader’s View of that very page, no matter the assigned unlock type or whether it's been published or not.

So, for example, if you hit the Live Preview from a non-published Collection detail page with the Subscribe unlock type, it will launch the preview of the unlocked version of that Collection or issue on your UA.
