Viewing the site in a draft mode

In addition to previewing content within the CMS preview panel, it is also possible to preview the site from the 'front-end' (ie. as a visitor would see it). Clicking on the URL segment in the CMS will open a new window containing the page being edited. A code is added to the end of the URL (stage=Stage) which tells SilverStripe to show draft content.
