Once a site is up and going live, is there a way to have EE display a preview of new content page while page is in CLOSED status that looks comparable to the live website view?
I’ve worked with other CMS that provide great display features. The web design firm says the preview can only be done in OPEN status.

Hi kcsdira & welcome to the forums!
You can view any entry that has a status of CLOSED if you include that in the “status” parameter in one of your templates. I do this with my personal site. I have a template group specifically for testing and it is identical to my public template with the exception that it will show future and expired entries along with entries that have the status of closed.
