+# Workflow: SDK Preview Mode
+
+## Purpose
+
+Enable dashboard preview editing for an SDK-hosted Next.js site. Preview mode lets the dashboard open the external site with a short-lived editor session, render draft content, and show the Riverbank preview shell.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Riverbank SDK site using the Next.js App Router.
+- A preview/staging URL for the site.
+- A Riverbank preview API key (`bld_preview_sk_...`) for draft content.
+- Dashboard access to run `riverbankcms push-config`.
+
+## Configure `riverbank.config.ts`
+
+Set the preview URL and enable token-based preview editing:
+
+```ts
+import { defineConfig } from '@riverbankcms/sdk/config'
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  siteId: process.env.RIVERBANK_SITE_ID!,
+  previewUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL!,
+  dashboard: {
+    previewEditingEnabled: true,
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Then sync the config:
+
+```bash
+riverbankcms push-config --env=remote
+```
+
+Use `--dashboard <url>` and `--api-key <key>` when you want explicit values to override environment variables.
+
+## Add Preview Token Proxy
+
+Create `src/proxy.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { handlePreviewTokens } from '@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/middleware'
+import { NextResponse, type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
+
+export function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
+  if (process.env.RIVERBANK_PREVIEW_MODE === 'true') {
+    const response = handlePreviewTokens(request)
+    if (response) return response
+  }
+
+  return NextResponse.next()
+}
+
+export const config = {
+  matcher: ['/((?!_next/static|_next/image|api|favicon.ico|robots.txt|sitemap.xml).*)'],
+}
+```
+
+## Add Preview Keep-Alive Route
+
+Create `src/app/api/preview/keep-alive/route.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
+
+import { createPreviewKeepAliveRouteHandler } from '@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/keep-alive'
+
+const handler = createPreviewKeepAliveRouteHandler()
+
+export function GET(request: NextRequest) {
+  return handler(request)
+}
+
+export function POST(request: NextRequest) {
+  return handler(request)
+}
+```
+
+## Add The Client Preview Wrapper
+
+Create `src/components/preview/SdkPreviewModeClient.tsx`:
+
+```tsx
+'use client'
+
+import { PreviewQueryProvider, SdkPreviewMode, type SdkPreviewModeProps } from '@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/client'
+
+import { blockOverrides } from '@/lib/block-overrides'
+
+type SdkPreviewModeClientProps = Omit<SdkPreviewModeProps, 'blockOverrides'>
+
+export function SdkPreviewModeClient(props: SdkPreviewModeClientProps) {
+  return (
+    <PreviewQueryProvider>
+      <SdkPreviewMode {...props} blockOverrides={blockOverrides} />
+    </PreviewQueryProvider>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Wire The Catch-All Page
+
+Use `createPreviewModeBeforeRender` in the catch-all page:
+
+```tsx
+import { createCatchAllPage } from '@riverbankcms/sdk/next'
+import { createPreviewModeBeforeRender } from '@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/before-render'
+
+import config from '../../../riverbank.config'
+import { blockOverrides } from '@/lib/block-overrides'
+import { getRiverbankClient } from '@/lib/riverbank-client'
+import { SdkPreviewModeClient } from '@/components/preview/SdkPreviewModeClient'
+
+const { Page, generateMetadata } = createCatchAllPage({
+  getClient: getRiverbankClient,
+  config,
+  blockOverrides,
+  beforeRender: createPreviewModeBeforeRender({
+    getClient: getRiverbankClient,
+    siteId: config.siteId,
+    PreviewModeClient: SdkPreviewModeClient,
+  }),
+})
+
+export default Page
+export { generateMetadata }
+```
+
+## Import Preview CSS
+
+For Tailwind sites, add this to `src/app/globals.css`:
+
+```css
+@import "tailwindcss";
+@import "@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/tailwind-sources.css";
+@import "@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/chrome.css";
+```
+
+For non-Tailwind sites, use the legacy single import:
+
+```css
+@import "@riverbankcms/sdk/preview-next/styles.css";
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+For Vercel preview or any external preview host:
+
+```bash
+RIVERBANK_PREVIEW_MODE=true
+RIVERBANK_ENV=remote
+RIVERBANK_REMOTE_SITE_ID=...
+RIVERBANK_REMOTE_DASHBOARD_URL=https://...
+RIVERBANK_REMOTE_PREVIEW_API_KEY=bld_preview_sk_...
+```
+
+Use a preview API key when `RIVERBANK_PREVIEW_MODE=true`; content/live keys cannot read draft content. Keep the management API key (`RIVERBANK_REMOTE_MGMT_API_KEY`) for CLI sync commands such as `push-config`, not for public rendering.
+
+## Verification
+
+1. Run `riverbankcms push-config --env=remote`.
+2. Build the site with `RIVERBANK_PREVIEW_MODE=true`.
+3. Open the dashboard preview button.
+4. Confirm the URL starts at `previewUrl`.
+5. Confirm the preview shell loads and editable content appears.
+6. Confirm `/api/preview/keep-alive` returns without authentication errors during the session.
