Having the ability to save article drafts and check article previews greatly improves the editorial process. But unfortunately not all functions an article can have are included in the article preview.

We propose that polls also become part of the article preview so an editor can check it under “real life conditions” before publishing it. Especially when articles need to be approved by outside stakeholders (who don’t have access to the Control Panel), a missing poll blocks us from having a simple and straightforward approval process.

The same - but with a lot less priority - goes for attachments.

I was hoping it was an error that was not allowing me to see the poll in a preview… 

 

Sharing a preview article with stakeholders is something I do on a daily basis and it’s an additional (and frustrating) step to have to include a screenshot of the poll in the post with my message because polls do not appear in preview mode.

 

Curious to hear if there are any plans or updates to this feature?

We've been increasing our polling of users. And it is very annoying that we cannot preview the poll. Also, it's kind of weird to begin with that part of a draft is not visible in the preview.
