Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.This patch adds a context placeholder form for entity ids, which when used with the 'panels veritable preview' patch allows an entity id to be manually supplied before a panel preview is generated.
We have been using it for the Weather Channel for several weeks now without issue.

Silicon.Valet commentedThis patch allows panels to provide previews on entity panel forms (or node view). It also replaces the behavior of the panels preview system from displaying preview inline to generating a preview "link" that can be opened independently (so as to preserve theme isolation and DOM fidelity.
