 Beginning users should be informed about the preview feature because not
 every user starts with a theme install preview.

 current theme"?

 Of if such instructions should be retained, I don't think “theme” need
 even be mentioned: just mention “site” instead. So:

 > You are previewing your site.

 But what would then be displayed in the section when it is expanded? When
 previewing a theme switch, it shows the screenshot followed by the theme
 description. So instead it should show additional information about how
 the customizer works?
