Preview Server Needs

[Dillibabu77]

Hi 

If someone can explain, What is  the need for a preview server and when do we really need the server in a cloud environment, it would be really helpful for me?.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you check this https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/sites/authoring/fun...

It covers the idea of having preview environments

Hi @Dillibabu77 ,

It depends on your client's use case. Preview service lets developers and content authors preview a website’s final experience before it reaches the publish environment and is available publicly.

if you are looking for a preview on the non-production environment, I would suggest using your dispatcher's URLs for the same use case and if it is in the production environment, make use of Preview Service.

Thank you.

Hi @Dillibabu77 ,

AEM preview environment come into the picture "When authors finish their work, they need to get an approval by someone who is not familiar with AEM"

Please have a look at this detailed article about "Do I need a dedicated instance for page preview?"

Hope that helps!
