New to this tool and a non coder. I created some of my pages, mostly with the AI builder and can’t seem to get the preview button to launch a preview window. The URL still shows editor? I’ve cleared cache and tried to follow online troubleshooting to no avail. Awaiting a response from weweb support, but throught to ask if anyone has any ideas. It’s not published by the way. Also, I’m working through connecting my supabase collections and find that my user role in supabase of superadmin must not be coming over to weweb because weweb continues to throw up this error, "[editorweweb.io](http://editorweweb.io) says “You do not have permission to access this page”

Hi Sunchic 👋

I’m not sure where your error is.

Can you share some screenshots of your browser, and your WeWeb editor?

check out this permission access error at the top, this is when I load up my project and happens at various times when I am pulling up screens.

and for the issue where I can’t seem to get the preview to work, here’s a screen shot when I click preview and the url is still Edit…

that’s how it works you’re now in preview mode an can click and do stuff in your page. deploying is how you have your own url

Thank you. Somewhere I read my URL changes to say preview after clicking the preview button. All seems to be ok on this item, thanks.
