This preview mode shows the offline state if the Portal online setting is toggled off.

Product Settings
This mode allows a live preview of the product tile on the landing page.
When you open the product settings in your portal, there is a preview of the product tile next to the configuration panel. Any changes you make in the panel appear in this preview as soon as you make them.
Note
Private products have two previews: for a logged-in and logged-out state.

Product Content
This mode allows you to preview the content of a specific product, for example, its pages or APIs. Note that you can only preview the content of one product at a time.
Click Preview in the top bar next to Live View to see your changes. This opens a new browser tab with the product in context.
Note
In this mode, you can't navigate to other products, the landing page, or search.
Preview in this mode shows content even if your Portal is in an offline state.

Resolved State
The APIs in the provider view of API Hub for Portal are in an unresolved state. The API is in a resolved state after a Preview or Publish action. A resolved state means that the APIs also show:
Contents of external references, if there are external references in the API.
Domains information, if domains are referenced in the API in API Hub for Design.
