Yeah, the site preview is loaded into an iframe and updated on changes to any of the input fields. That’s how it works.

@user6644 You can use `craft.request.isLivePreview()` (returns a boolean) inside your template to hide/disable the iframe when in livepreview.

No, that’s the whole point of Live Preview, to update and preview the changes “live”.

If that’s not what you want you can save the entry via “Save an continue editing” (keyboard shortcut `CMD`+`S`) and then view the changes by clicking the “Entry link” button.
