This modifies a few bits in the plugin directory to make it easier to discover plugin previews and how they work:

Add a "Preview Not Available"

To indicate that there could be a preview button. The eye indicates that this is only visible to the plugin admin.

Add an eye to the "Test Preview"

Indicate that the "Test Preview" doesn't mean the preview is enabled:

Add a "Preview Not Available

I don't know either way whether that would work, but we can always run the experiment.

  • We should change that logic so an error banner is not shown unless the blueprint is broken.
  • I would also consider updating the language to do a bit of selling: "Live Previews allow users to experience your plugin in real-time. Read more about Live Previews."
