Lack of Preview option on main editing page

On the initial, main editing page of this editor, there is no option to preview one's work. There is only a big button which says ''Publish''.


This leads one to think that one's only option, after having composed one's edit, is to publish it directly, without having an opportunity to first preview one's proposed changes. This is confusing, disorienting, and in every way bad and undesirable.


I've been editing since 2006, and it threw me off severely. I can only imagine how new and novice editors must feel.


Please add my voice to the many who have already pointed out this terrible flaw in the interface of the editor, and who request an immediate change. ~~~~
