Add a Preview Function for News Items

Since we are able to preview a push page, why can't we preview a News Item before it goes live? This way we can verify that it looks correct once it is posted. Many times, an extra space turns up or a link does not work correctly once it goes live, which is inconvenient. I know I can set the news item to publish later and then copy the url to the screen to see what it looks like but it would be a lot easier to duplicate the preview button like in pushpage.

    This would be SO helpful for us as well: currently we are working around this by each teacher having a class section of a hidden "Practice" course, but this method often causes confusion on the Teacher side when it comes time to Publish a news story to their "real" classroom board.
