  press [enter].
  
  

OR

Notes

• If you edit the primary page, simply refresh the secondary Incognito / Private window version to see the updates.
• The second browser session must not be logged into WikiTree in order to see the public view of the page. You should stay logged into any regular tabs that you already have open.
• If you prefer to normally work in a Private / Incognito browser window, then you can use a regular window as the second window, as long as it is not logged into WikiTree
• The same methods can be used to see a non-Trusted view of the WikiTree page, by logging the second browser window into WikiTree as a different non-trusted account.
