interface CMSPreviewable (View source)

Interface to provide enough information about a record to make it previewable through the CMS. It uses the record database ID, its "frontend" and "backend" links to link up the edit form with its preview.

Also used by {@link SilverStripeNavigator} to generate links - both within the CMS preview, and as a frontend utility for logged-in CMS authors in custom themes (with the $SilverStripeNavigator template marker).
