Displays a mini preview when a page or post is being edited.
This WordPress plugin displays a mini preview window on the edit post or edit page screen.
Mini Preview sits in the Page or Post tab when you are editing a page or post in WordPress.
Buttons above the preview window provide for Refresh, various display sizes, and preview in new tab.
The preview window is a fully-functional, interactive mini browser showing exactly what the page will look like, except in miniature.

Can I move the Mini Preview window?
Yes, the Mini Preview is draggable. You can drag it to change its place within the meta boxes.
How do I change the preview window size (resolution)?
The second button on the toolbar is the “Next Resolution” button. Clicking this button cycles through the resolutions.
Alternatively, click the down arrow and the resolution menu will display. Click the resolution you wish to use.
