Before posting any comment, it’s advisable to preview that first.
Also, that enables one to confirm the correctness of any embedded link.
While the desktop version shows a preview option for comments, I couldn’t discover that on the phone, although the same is available for new posts.
A straightforward answer would be: “Request a desktop site.” However, then the display becomes so much cramped making the preview unmanageable.
Hi @C_T ,
Thanks for your question.
The post preview feature is available both on Android and IOS device. You can find it by scrolling down till the end of the page. See the screenshot bellow:
Thank you for highlighting this part, @C_T
In fact the preview command is missing (for replies) on mobile
while it is available on desktop, @MashaPS
Is it a bug, or should we suggest an improvement on Idea exchange?
Thanks @ErmesT ,
You are absolutely right.
Obviously I missed the “comment” part of the question, I am sorry.
So to sum up: When starting a new post, the ‘Preview’ option is visible both on mobile device and desktop. When writing a comment or reply, the same option is visible on desktop and not showing on mobile (both Android and IOS).
Thanks for flagging this @C_T and @ErmesT , we will look into it and update you when have news.
PS I removed the Solution from my previous reply as it is not such.
That’s fine @MashaPS
I am trying to go back with the memory to the preliminary test of Connect2.
If I remember correctly, the “preview” button was originally in the same position for post and replies, but it was addressed wrongly, and this is probably the reason why, on desktop, has now been moved over the text formatting toolbox, disappearing on mobile
I hope all is Well,
I tried to check when we are going to comment in someone post we can’t find Preview option,
but it’s available in when we are going to Post something using Mobile.
And I tried to check Local Guide website open in Chrome and convert in Desktop site but Preview option it not seen,
So just Google Developer need to use same code which they use in Post for Text Box and Button.
Thank you .
Hello @C_T , @ErmesT and @ZuberBhoja ,
I hope your are doing well!
Please be informed that the preview in replies on Connect when using it on mobile is now fixed. You can see it on the screenshots below.
Thank you for your patience and have a great week ahead!
This is a great news @MashaPS
Thank you so much for the feedback
Hello @MashaPS
No, that’s not fixed yet.
The example presented by you is that of a new post. There wasn’t any issue in that.
I am expecting a preview feature for replies to already published post.
As you can see in the screenshot below, there isn’t any preview button for this specific reply.
Still, I am not removing the solution tag as I think the problem posted by me is more of a nuisance. I can always invoke the workaround of switching to a desktop site while replying to some important thread.
Hi @C_T ,
Thanks for clarifying it.
I will re-report this, and we have to wait a bit more.
I am removing the solution from my previous reply, to not get other Local Guides confused.
