Ability to preview Learning Profile before publishing

In creating a Learning Profile form, I was unable to preview the entire form until I actually filled it out under a test student. When I realized that it needed tweaking, I was unable to make changes and had to create a new form. Extremely inconvenient!! It would be helpful to be able to see the entire form (with drop downs, spacing, etc) before having to use it.

    This idea is probably not on anyone's radar anymore, as it's been sitting here for 6 years. But I encountered this issue again in 2025: You CAN preview the "empty" form during construction, but there's no way to edit or delete a form after attaching it to a student, so it's impossible to test with actual content. Even after deleting the form from the test student such that it's not attached to anyone, the "historical data" keeps the form from being deleted or edited. This means that if there are any substantive changes, the best we can do is inactivate the form and start over, leaving a trail of undead forms in the system behind us. šŸ˜•
