Preview to edit

Using Preview to edit, editors can edit assets directly in the preview pane. This feature helps editors see their modified asset exactly as a site visitor does. While editing in the preview pane, list modules and promo modules are already exposed without having to expand menu clusters, enabling editors to enjoy a quicker and more efficient experience.

Note
Preview to edit is only available on non-headless implementations.
