Preview icon for web content is awesome. Hard to find or even know it's there.

It would be awesome to duplicate that as a button next to "Publish" something like "Preview".

I'm glad you like it emoticon

The thing is that there are many ways to present a web content and because of that there isn't just one single preview. In 7.2 we have added support for a lot of ways of previewing including:
  1. Preview with a (freemarker template) 
  2. Preview with the selected display page
  3. Preview in any of the pages where the content is already being used (check the Usages tab). This includes the following ways of displaying the content:
    1. Through a Web Content Display
    2. Through a fragment (via mapping to editable elements)
    3. Throught Asset Publisher (facing some issues right now, so this option may be dropped)

Yeah I can sure understand that aspect of preview. The modal popup from that icon is very useful but seems buried in a place where users won't find it. I did but only because I'm probing the interface LOL.
