Preview content on Web content pages
If you have enabled support for Web content pages, you can preview content items in the authoring portlet as they will appear on Web content pages. Before the introduction of Web content pages, a content item could only be previewed as a standalone Web page, which was as a predefined local or remote portal page that contained the traditional Web Content Viewer. With the introduction of Web content pages, you can now preview a content item as part of a Web content portal page, showing the content item in a more accurate context. The content item is previewed on the Web content portal page that is associated with the content items site or site area.
It is essential that there be a Web Content Viewer on the associated Web content page and that the portlet is configured to receive links from other portlets.
Preview content items on Web content pages is only available with the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer and does not work with the traditional Web Content Viewer.
