For bean instances that are already being displayed on a site, users will likely want to preview their changes before saving them.

Since beans don't have revisions yet (#1335494: Beans need revisions) and Workbench Moderation (or as far as I know anything similar) doesn't work with entities, I don't see another way to safely test out bean changes before they go live. Seems like adding preview functionality would be the best approach.

For now, you can view the bean doing to block/{delta} but adding a button so it's not saved first is a good idea.

I would also love to see this implemented. A way to have draft beans would be excellent. Integration with Workbench moderation would be perfect. From what I've read I believe Workbench Moderation 2.x (with State Machine 3.x) will support all entities (http://drupal.org/node/1866224), though I haven't tried it myself.

Has anyone tried this and got it to work?
