Wagtail Headless Preview
Enables previews for Wagtail pages in headless CMS setups by routing previews to a separate front-end application.
What is Wagtail Headless Preview?
Wagtail Headless Preview is a Django package that enables preview functionality for Wagtail CMS when used in a headless setup. It solves the problem where editors lose the ability to preview page changes because the front-end is a separate application, by routing previews to the configured front-end URL. This allows content editors to see exactly how their changes will appear on the live site.
Developers building headless CMS implementations with Wagtail as the backend and a separate front-end framework like React, Vue, or Next.js. It's particularly useful for teams where content editors need to preview changes before publishing.
Developers choose Wagtail Headless Preview because it seamlessly integrates with Wagtail's existing preview system, requires minimal configuration, and maintains the editorial experience that makes Wagtail popular. It's the official solution for headless previews in the Wagtail ecosystem.
