The text "Preview" was chosen very specifically to indicate that it will not be saved/published right away, as you might think with "Change". This might prohibit new users from starting to experiment as they fear the changes will instantly be visible. On the other hand, I've had many comments on the "Preview" text from the participants of the usability tests. So in the end I'd rather have a label that is a bit weirder at first, but conveys the message of how the interface works better.
How about "Continue" and "Undo" in place of "Preview" and "Cancel"?
Neither suggests an immediate end to the entire editing session, but both make some sort of sense within a wider scope of making several changes to a document.
