New design - what part of header appears?

I'm having a bit of trouble telling in the preview mode what is going to really appear. I assume the blue bar at the top will not. Will the circled grey bar below appear in the "real" site or not?

I love the idea of a sandbox to develop, but am a bit confused to make sure I know what things really will look like.

And since only we can see it, is there also a "logged in" vs not state difference we also can test while in the sandbox (since no one but the owner logged in can see the sandbox)? There used to be a "visitor view", is that concept in the sandbox? Or is there just no difference in owner and visitor (I hope there is, for things like buttons that do stuff).

    Neither the blue or grey bar appears in the "real" site.

    I haven't checked for the "visitor view" option, but in a pinch you can always use a different browser to view the site.

    If you have Chrome, you can set up another user and view the site as that new user.

    Thanks.

    I think you can only do the above once you unveil. I think until then only the logged in owner can see the new design, and my question is whether that new design looks different for the owner than a visitor. For example, somewhere buttons like upload should magically vanish from the visitor view. Just wondering how we see that visitor view.

    If you haven't unveiled, visitors won't see the new design at all.

    Ok, that's exactly what I've been trying to figure out. How in the world can you see what your site will look like before unveiling, if you can't see what it will look like to visitors?!! I mean, there HAS to be a way to do this, otherwise it's all useless...

    When I try to use that text object it stubbornly sticks to the left side even though I push the center button in the editor.

    The left side of the text object or the left side of of the screen

    yah I found that button and dragged and dropped into the square box in the middle of the screen. A text window popped up and I was able to add the working I what. The problem is the added working is in the middle of the page. I would like to move it to the bottom of the page just about my log in button

    It stays on the left side of the screen even though pushing the center button in the editor gives the apperance that it will be centered. I can not make a text object be centered.
