This feature works in conjunction with the global preview feature:
When the global preview is on and CMS-based preview is off, the publish to preview feature will be turned off for only the CMS module.
When the global preview is off and CMS-based preview is on, the publish to preview feature will be turned off globally.
When both the global preview and CMS-based preview are off, the publish to preview feature will be turned off globally.
When both the global preview and CMS-based preview are on, the publish to preview feature will be enabled globally.
Viewing Blogs & News
To view the blogs/news User needs to add <domain>/blog for blogs and <domain>/news for news with the webstore's URL.
The URLs can be configured from the "headernavigation" and "footer" sections of store experience in Admin.
