Why preview something?

Put simply - so that your page doesn't look terrible when you make it live. Your life will be much easier if you preview it first, make the necessary changes to get it looking good, and then switch over the template afterwards.

How do I preview a page?

You have a couple of templates to choose from when you're creating pages - a child page with an image at the top, and a child page without an image at the top. In order to preview a page in either of these templates, you want to copy the relevant string below and paste it after your URL.

Child page with image
?skin=Sports2023&template=Child Page - With Image

Child page with no image
?skin=Sports2023&template=Child Page - No Image

The question mark should sit after the final forward slash in the URL, for example:

strathunion.com/sports-union/membership/?skin=Sports2023&template=Child Page - No Image
