I'm conflicted. I like that the new preview mode lets me "use" the app without having to reload every query and it makes those accidental clicks on functionality easier to avoid. However, it doesn't hide elements that are "always display in edit mode" nor does it honor the _embed flag on the URL. …

Hey! Just wanted to update that we've fixed this issue! Please let us know it still doesn't work the way you expect it to.
