Content Publisher just got better: Meet Preview Editor

At Pantheon, we believe the best tools are the ones you barely notice—they just work. Content teams shouldn’t have to wrestle with clunky workflows or jump through hoops just to see how their updates will look. That’s why we built Preview Editor, an intuitive way to edit and preview content side by side in Content Publisher (now in beta). 

No more bouncing between tabs, refreshing pages, or second-guessing layouts. With Preview Editor, what you see is what you publish—seamlessly and in real time.

Unlike most headless CMS platforms, where content previewing is an afterthought, Content Publisher delivers an integrated preview experience right out of the box. Powered by a GraphQL API, it offers the flexibility of a composable system without the hassle of extra integrations or workarounds.

A seamless, real-time editing experience

We’ve all been there—meticulously crafting content, only to switch tabs and realize the formatting is off. Or worse: hitting publish and discovering something looks wrong. It’s frustrating, inefficient, and disrupts your creative flow.

With Preview Editor, that uncertainty is gone. As you type, tweak, and refine, your updates appear instantly—just as they will when published. No refreshing. No jumping between tabs. No second-guessing. Just seamless, real-time editing.

What this means for you:

• Live updates, zero guesswork – See your content render in real time exactly as it will appear on your site.
• Mobile and desktop previews – Toggle between views to guarantee a flawless experience everywhere.
• Customizable workspace – Resize and zoom preview panes to fit your workflow.

With Preview Editor, you’re not just editing—you’re building and refining with confidence.

Built for speed and collaboration

Content publishing is rarely a solo effort. Whether you’re working with designers, developers, or an editorial team, staying in sync is critical. That’s why we didn’t just improve content editing—we reimagined the entire workflow.

Jump directly into previews from the Content Explorer tab—no extra steps required. Need to update permissions or manage workflows? A refreshed UI for collection permissions makes team collaboration simpler. Navigation is smoother too, thanks to a cleaner Settings menu that puts key controls at your fingertips.

Publishing should feel frictionless. With Content Publisher’s Preview Editor, it finally does.

Metadata and publishing, optimized

For many teams, metadata and publishing workflows feel like administrative overhead—necessary, but tedious. We streamlined that, too.

• Faster metadata editing – A new pop-up window makes managing metadata more intuitive.
• Fewer publishing steps – Go live with less friction.
• Improved performance – A refresh button for components and speed improvements keep your team moving fast.

From first draft to final publication, everything now flows smoother, faster, and with fewer roadblocks.

Next.js SDK enhancements

For teams using our Next.js SDK, we’ve made critical updates to keep your development workflows just as seamless as your content publishing experience.

• Retired the Preview Header – The old preview experience is now fully replaced by Preview Editor.
• Performance and stability upgrades – Faster previews and improved API responsiveness for a smoother workflow.
