      • In the template "Trail1", you will see 4 options: Dashboard, New Post, Manage Comments and Visit Site.
      • The Visit Site button takes you to your live WordPress website where you can see how it appears to website visitors. The Dashboard button takes you back to the administration dashboard.

      This is how Edly Trail1 Discovery Site looks like when we click on Visit Site.

      Discovery Site can be customized as per your design and requirements by clicking on "Edit with Elementor" if you have admin access. You can create new templates & layout through this plugin. To see how it works, check out Elementor Pro Widgets.
