@David Tanzer Am I an idiot, or is there no way to preview an edit besides committing it?
@Jules Hedges Yes. you observed correctly. As a workaround, I created a page called "preview", which anyone can use to test things out. (One can also work in the notebook web.) Anyone feel free to replace the entire contents of preview for their own testing.
If you think it's worth pursuing, you can add it to the page for bugs and feature requests.
Note also that repeated saves within a certain time window don't create separate versions in the history. So by repeated saves and viewings, you end up with just one version for each editing session.
