 Unfortunate loss of functionality in the latest release (5.6).

 When I finished creating a new post, I had a view link.
 Then I edited the post to make a small addition.
 After updating the post, I no longer had a VIEW link--only PREVIEW.

 Thinking that button now does the same thing, I clicked it and sent
 that URL to my followers.

 But that link puts a "preview" tag in a query string at the end of the
 URL.
 The URL is long enough that it isn't obvious.

 When I sent the link to my followers, I got reports saying they didn't
 have permission to preview the post--even though it was already published.

 The action items I recommend:
    1. Restore the View button that used to display after a post is
 updated.
    2. If someone has a link to a published post that has a "preview" tag,
       point them to the post without the tag! (For a numbered post that
       hasn't been published, the permissions restriction makes sense. For
 a
       post that *has* been published, it doesn't.)
