Title: Ability to preview submissions/edits
Post by: Izret101 on March 26, 2009, 12:19:18 AM
Would it be possible to allow people to review their submissions/edits before actually sending them thru? Similar to the posts/blogs?

I was curious because tonight i used some HTML code in a overview and it got wonky and i had to go back in fix it.
If i was able to view the page before sending it thru i could have done it all in one fell swoop.

I wouldn't have even had to double check to make sure no one else saw the mistake and realized i was an idiot!

Thanks :)

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that such a modification is very complicated and would take a lot more work than what is required for the blog. I wish to revisit submissions in the future, but it might be a while don't the road.

If it helps, whenever I'm doing something with HTML that I think might go wonky. Just make sure when you view the updated page you leave the page that directs you to the updated page open, and then if something isn't right, you can go back with your browser, fix the problem and then submit it again. That way you don't have to worry about putting something new in the Contribution field to clutter it up. It's like you never made the first edit.
