Contentful’s Closest Preview App

The Closest Preview app is now live in the Contentful Marketplace. Built for content editors working with nested or modular content models, this app helps you quickly locate which page-level entry includes the current banner, CTA, or component, and allows editors to view them in context.

Instead of manually navigating through multiple references, Closest Preview finds the link to the closest page-level entry in the content tree. From there, you can instantly open the page in a new tab. If Contentful's Live Preview is enabled in your environment, you can view updates in real-time.

Key features:

  • Automatic discovery of the nearest page entry by tracing references.
  • One-click access to view the containing page in a new tab.
  • Sidebar integration for seamless access during editing.
  • Simple configuration for non–page-level editors.
  • Preview-ready design that works with existing Live Preview setup.

Get started by installing the Closest Preview app from our Marketplace.
