@niveth09 here is the code for extending the preview command without the eye button:

    const cmdVis = 'sw-visibility';
    commands.extend('preview', {
        run(editor, sender): void {
            this.sender = sender;
            this.selected = [...editor.getSelectedAll()];
            editor.select();

            if (!this.shouldRunSwVisibility) {
                this.shouldRunSwVisibility = editor.Commands.isActive(cmdVis);
            }

            this.shouldRunSwVisibility && editor.stopCommand(cmdVis);
            editor.getModel().stopDefault();

            const panels = this.getPanels(editor);
            const canvas = editor.Canvas.getElement();

            panels.forEach((panel) => panel.set('visible', false));

            const canvasS = canvas.style;
            canvasS.width = '100%';
            canvasS.height = '100%';
            canvasS.top = '0';
            canvasS.left = '0';
            canvasS.padding = '0';
            canvasS.margin = '0';
            editor.refresh();
            this.tglEffects(1);
        },
    });

I'd suggest extending the original Preview command

Thanks for reporting this, @niveth09.

Great question about How to remove the eye-slash button in preview mode?. The recommended approach with GrapesJS is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));

If you're still stuck:

  • Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
