Hello,

We host our website on HubSpot. I’m looking for a way to preview my staged page as if it was published live. The preview function gives me a different preview that what the page actually looks like once published. Does anyone know of a CMS feature I might have missed or a workaround?

Thanks,

Eugenie

Hi, @SarahOps 👋 You didn’t mention whether you have a CMS Hub Pro or Enterprise subscription, but if you do, there are two staging options available:

- To update existing HubSpot-hosted content, check out [Content Staging](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/redesign-and-relaunch-your-site-with-content-staging)
- To build and test out new assets, take a look at [our free CMS Developer Sandbox accounts](https://offers.hubspot.com/free-cms-developer-sandbox?_ga=2.210878870.222595161.1654482931-1884560883.1643660332&_gac=1.250016244.1653071956.Cj0KCQjw-JyUBhCuARIsANUqQ_I0uFpb7WPmp9nVie-NjMgLQyakXK11smKqhBLjkT9rh4LG2icpgiAaAjRxEALw_wcB)

Hi [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074) ,

We’re on the CMS Hub Pro subscription.

I have tried both the Content Staging option and the CMS Developer Sandbox account. Am I right in saying the preview feature is the only way to preview content? Let me know if I’m missing something.

Thanks,

Eugenie

Hey @SarahOps in the preview have you clicked “Open in new window” in the top right corner? This opens the webpage in a new tab, outside of the preview pane, as if it’s a live page.

some extra details might help the community help you. This a hubdb page? custom coded?Maybe screenshots of the hs preview vs live page? screenshots of your module set up? Are you using a HubSpot theme or a custom one? Maybe your developer has errors in the code? This preview behavior isn’t normal
