Reliable previews with shared navigation
Version 0.7.13Preview blog posts and pages with the published header and footer your site uses, including Minimal and Complex navigation layouts.
Improved
Keep the draft preview boundary clear.
Preview content remains access-controlled and excluded from indexing; the shared navigation comes from the published site.
Fixed
Preview published navigation layouts.
Authorized blog and page previews accept the supported Basic, Minimal and Complex header and footer families.
Release notes
LitPage 0.7.13 makes authorized previews work with more of the shared navigation layouts already available in the Builder. A site using a Minimal or Complex header or footer can now preview a blog post or page without that valid navigation configuration blocking the preview.
Review the page in its site context
Open a saved draft's authorized preview to check the content alongside your site's published header and footer. Basic, Minimal and Complex navigation families are supported, so changing the site's navigation style does not require changing the draft to make preview work.
The preview shows the saved draft together with published shared navigation. If you have also edited the shared header or footer, review and publish those changes separately.
Keep unpublished work private
This repair keeps the existing preview protections: access is authorized, the preview is excluded from indexing, and unpublished content is not added to the public site. Previewing a draft does not publish it.
