There is no preview for posting games.

You obviously know this icon that I highlighted here, right? This is where I post games.

But there's a big issue. I can't preview what I have done. When I finish doing analysis and commentary on the board, I can't preview anything I have done, and once I click on "Add Games", there's no going back. I can't see my moves, I can't see what it looks like when published (there's not even a save and preview button in forums), and once I publish it, especially in an active club, everyone might see a huge mess in my game that I published, so I have to restart over, edit the forum, and put a whole new analysis (might take several minutes BTW), for only more people to see the mess, then hate my analysis.

Please, Chess.com, put a preview for the game editing board in forums, and put more capability of editing the board if I had done something wrong, instead of restarting over and over. 

This is the main reason why I can't post Daily Puzzles, I can't trust the board editor when there's no preview.

I thought that you could click on the gray chessboard that appears instead of a preview and it would pull the board editor back up.

Hi! I can totally understand the frustration of not having a preview option before posting games. A preview feature would definitely help to ensure everything looks just right before sharing with others, especially when formatting or sharing complex game moves.

Hopefully, the team can look into this and consider adding it in a future update! It would make the process more seamless. In the meantime, maybe you can copy your game and paste it into a text editor or external tool to preview it, although I know it's not as convenient.
