How can I preview draft blogs in Webflow and see the same styling that will be displayed on the client's website once published?

In Webflow, you can easily preview draft blogs and see the same styling that will be displayed on the client's website once published. To do this, you can use the Preview mode and the CMS collection filters.

1. Open your Webflow project and make sure you're in the "Pages" section.
2. Navigate to the specific page where your blog posts are displayed (e.g., blog listing or blog post template page).
3. At the top left corner of the designer, you'll find the "Preview" button. Click on it to enter the Preview mode.
4. In the preview mode, you'll be able to see the live version of your website with the applied styles and interactions as they will appear on the published site.
5. To see draft blog posts, you need to apply CMS collection filters. Click on the "Filters" icon (a funnel-shaped button) in the top right corner of the designer.
6. In the Filters panel, click on the "Add Filter" button to create a new filter.
7. In the filter settings, choose the collection that contains your blog posts and specify the filter options you want. For example, you can create a filter to show only draft blog posts.
8. Apply the filter, and you will see the preview of your draft blog posts with the same styling that will be displayed on the client's website once published.
9. You can navigate through your blog posts using the pagination at the bottom of the preview, just like you would on the live site.
10. To exit the Preview mode, simply click the "Exit Preview" button at the top left corner of the designer.

By using the Preview mode and applying CMS collection filters, you can easily preview draft blogs and ensure that the styling displayed to the client matches what they will see on the published website. This allows you to confidently review and make any necessary adjustments before publishing the blog posts.
