Preview in author instance

Can I view my content in my author instance without the sidekick showing up? Can that be done without have a publish instance to view the content? I know there is a preview button on sidekick but that only minimizes sidekick.

You add a parameter to your query string.

Just append wcmmode=disabled

For example: http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html?wcmmode=disabled

This will hide all of the authoring tools. It's as close as you can get to how a page looks on a publish on an author instance.

Be sure to remove cf# from the path.

For editing mode you can use

for preview mode it is

http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.html?wcmmode=preview
