The text "Preview" was chosen very
specifically to indicate that it will

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.
