There are many times when I need to record demo videos using different roles. Some of the times, I have apps which are built only for a desktop version but I cannot record a demo video in desktop while previewing as another user.  
The ability to preview in desktop would be very helpful!

That is correct Pablo, we are looking at that being a part of the new editor coming up.

Hooray! That’s great news. I’ve already begun to make screenshots of the current editor `:)` for historical purposes 😛
