feat(ui): add livePreview.openByDefault config option - #17213
Merged
Conversation
Adds an `openByDefault` option to the Live Preview config that opens the
Live Preview panel automatically the first time a user views a document,
before they have manually toggled it on.
Previously, Live Preview only opened automatically once a user had
toggled it on for a given collection or global, which persisted their
choice to preferences. On the very first visit there was no way to have
it open by default.
A new `openByDefault` property is now available on the
`admin.livePreview` config:
```ts
export default buildConfig({
admin: {
livePreview: {
url: 'http://localhost:3000/live-preview',
openByDefault: true,
},
},
})
```
The user's stored preference always wins. `openByDefault` only applies
when no preference exists yet — once the user toggles Live Preview on or
off, their choice is respected on every subsequent visit and
`openByDefault` is ignored.
