I'm using Umbraco version 7.2.1 assembly: 1.0.5462.37503
and when i click the preview button it takes me to the preview page, but it also actually publishes the content on the live site. Can someone please advise how to fix this?
I tried posting this in the "bugs" forum but no one is responding.
so if you edit a page and hit preview you can see your changes and then at the same time if you go to that page on the live site the changes are not there yet?
In my case it works like that: you press publish and see the published version of node. But if you open this page in another browser it works as old version, so everything looks ok, clients shouldn't see preview version.
ok. i just edited a page and then clicked "preview". i then opened up the published page url in a completely different browser and i can still see the unpublished changes. this is not how the preview button is supposed to work.
"Preview" button should only be a preview, it should NOT publish the changes to the live site. correct?
Think it is due to the results of a macro being cached with the unpublished changes/nodes, which is then being loaded for everyone so they will see any unpublished changes even though they wouldn't usually.
After some testing I found this to be an issue related to the Chrome browser caching stuff, so that the changes that is previewed/saved seem to be published when you go to another tab in the browser on the particular url.
If you instead open a new instance of Chrome running in incognito mode or open up some other type of browser (fx. IE) and open the url, then the changes are NOT shown, so not published, which of course they are not.
I had encountered similar issue. I could not sometimes see unpublished contents in preview. I am using 7.15.1 and resolved by adding the following to Web.config.

Hi Matt,
What did you press before preview ? Save or Save and Publish ?
Save button is under the Save and Publish, it's hidden.
Thanks, Alex
thanks for your reply. After editing the page all I pushed was the preview button I did not push save or publish or anything like that
But for me it's working fine, I just tested at Umbraco 7.2.4, maybe it's fixed in this version.
so if you edit a page and hit preview you can see your changes and then at the same time if you go to that page on the live site the changes are not there yet?
Yes, it's working fine, Umbraco just add this image in the corner - http://screencast.com/t/1uGvXPXf
When you end your preview content is old
Thanks
Another users aren't seeing this changes.
are you saying that other users are having the same problem as I am?
I meant another users are on the site now.
update on this. I tried upgrading from 7.2.1 to 7.2.5 and i am still seeing the error.
Then, I tried a fresh installation of 7.2.5 and the error still exists!
When you edit a page and click "Preview" it actually publishes the changes, please confirm that this error exists in the CMS.
thanks
Alex, Jan?
Matt, looks like the problem exists.
thanks for the reply. so you're saying you can reproduce this issue? how can i request that this get fixed in the next version?
In my case it works like that: you press publish and see the published version of node. But if you open this page in another browser it works as old version, so everything looks ok, clients shouldn't see preview version.
Thanks
My steps to reproduce issue:
please let me know if you can reproduce this exact issue. thanks.
Matt, yes this is right behavior, but if you open page URL in another browser everything is ok, try please.
I made the same except this :
Thanks, Alex

We're seeing the same behavior on an install running 7.2.1, probably related to this issue:
http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-5162
Think it is due to the results of a macro being cached with the unpublished changes/nodes, which is then being loaded for everyone so they will see any unpublished changes even though they wouldn't usually.
Hi,
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I too can confirm that clicking preview on a page with changes results in the page being published.
I'm using Umbraco 7.2.1 also.
Can anyone confirm whether upgrading the site to the latest version of Umbraco will fix the problem?
Many thanks in advance, Rick
There is a fix for this in 7.3... we're all waiting for that version to be released.
Sorry to take this up again, but we are experiencing this exact issue, and we are at version 7.3.1 - so, doesn't seem to be fixed or?
