Preview - Input needed?

Hello,

It would show that the action was actually done (and successfully so) so I'd suggest to continue using this behaviour. (Just tried it myself, accidentally with a large table, which did not appear (immediately) --  I found this irritating)

Hmm, I don't understand - is this because previews need additional packages?

I'd assume that any data-restructuring would benefit greatly, like generate random, recode, sort, subset, (in the future maybe some reshape like function etc.)
Currently, I assume that for tests it is not very useful (except for evil p-hackers ;-) ) but I may be wrong here.

Ah, interesting question. This would allow them to life on codepen only. Maybe it's possible, I'd need to try. 
The current usecase for the function was just sharing, like a fancy image :)
