As the content is not published yet, the canvas viewer has no way to access the XML. I'm afraid this won't be available until v5 of Umbraco next year. Until that time.. Write a nice manual for your client telling them where they can edit which content, it's not that difficult.
Unpublished items in Canvas view

The short answer is: you can't.
The long answer is: you really can't.
