Hi!

I want to view an unpublished page before it is published to see how it would look to the end user. How can i do this?

Go into the article/menu/module/etc in question, and set the "access" to "registered" or "special" (depending on your permissions and setup for users) instead of "public," then login to your frontend with yourdomainnamehere.com/index.php?option=com_users&view=login
and where it's supposed to be live, you will see your article/page/etc. as it would look if it were public. Menu items can also be done this way and they will appear in the menu.
