Question

I no longer have "Preview" as an option on the edit screen. It use to be there. It seems that if I edit the TWiki.Preferences Page, I lose different things. How to I restore the Preview function? I am using the latest version of TWiki.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Do you mean that the Preview button used to be there before you migrated TWiki 4.2.0? Because it has been disabled in that release due to KnownIssuesOfTWiki04x02:

Preview has been disabled when using Wysiwyg editor because users of Firefox experience a bug in Firefox which means that they [lose] all they edited when they hit the back button of the browser. We regard this as a minor issue because preview is not really needed when you edit with Wysiwyg. Preview still works in Raw Edit mode. Preview may return later in an improved version when we have found a way to work around the Firefox bug

Also, there was a bug report about using the WYSIWYG editor for Preferences, TWikibug:Item5605. As per that report, check your WYSIWYG editor version. Otherwise you might want to stick to the 'raw edit' command bar option on that for now.
