Preview mode and workflow
The preview mode works as expected only if the displayed document uses workflow (see Workflow overview for details). When you create a new document and want to preview it before you approve it in your step, click the document and click Preview. You will see the document as it will be displayed after it's published.
If you do not wish to use a real workflow, but you'd like to use the preview functionality, you can define a simple two-step workflow (Edit -> Publish) without any approval process. In this case, the editor can preview the content and publish it when it looks as required.
If you do not use workflow for the selected document, the Preview mode displays basically the same content as the Live site mode, the only difference may be caused by the fact that the preview mode doesn't use caching, so it may display also changes that are not visible on live site yet due to the caching.
