To go from the site editor to viewing the frontend of your site is a long-winded exercise. It would be nice if there was a more direct pathway.

A couple of options:

Add a link to the site title in the navigation panel

Add a link to the 'Preview' menu

With this second option, we might consider updating the button label since we do not have drafting functionality for templates / styles just yet, and so 'Preview' is a bit of a false promise.

I think we should rename "Preview" to "View" in the site editor and add a section beneath desktop/tablet/mobile that is "View Site ->".

I believe the second option, the preview/view menu, is what has been requested by users.
