When working with the portal content editor, we have the option of turning the preview on and off:
That setting is supposed to either display “draft” content (preview ON) or to hide it(preview OFF):
That’s what I thought, but it took me a few hours (and, eventually, some timely guidance) to realize that Preview ON/OFF selection is, actually, cached. Or, at least, some of that is cached somehow.
See, on the screenshot above “Forums” link is not supposed to be showing up – it’s in the draft publishing state:
But I can make it disappear by refreshing the cache:

Once it’s been done, there is no link:
Of course, once I’ve done that, I can’t just turn the preview ON to see the link:
Have to refresh the cache again(or I might probably choose to wait for 15+ minutes till the cache is refreshed automatically):
Open a support request with Microsoft and report this as a bug.
