About Editor URLs

On occasion, you might want to redirect a Wix user to a site's editor or to preview a site with any unpublished changes - for example, to lead them to make changes in an app's settings panel in the editor, or to review changes to an app or the site.

Use cases

• Direct Wix users to a site editor.
• Direct Wix users to preview the latest changes.

Before you begin

It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:

• Embedded script extensions won't be displayed in the preview.

Terminology

• Editor: The platform Wix users use to build and edit their sites. Wix offers several editors for site building:
  • Wix Studio
  • Wix Editor
  • Editor X: Deprecated.
• Preview: A feature that enables Wix users to see what changes made on a site (in the editor, or in an app) will look like to visitors, without publishing the site. Wix recommends that Wix users preview their sites to test how new changes and updates look before publishing them.
