# Webflow lets sites default the canvas to a simpler preview role By Steven Van · 2026-05-13 Designers and site managers can set Marketer or Content editor as the always-on preview role, per user and per site, on any plan. Webflow's Designer canvas can now default to a specific preview role for each site. Designers and site managers with Designer access or higher can select **Marketer** or **Content editor** as their preview role and check "Always default to that role on this site," so the canvas opens directly in that simplified view instead of requiring a manual switch each time. The preference is set per user and per site: choosing a default role on one site does not change the role on any other site. It can be changed or cleared later by repeating the same steps and picking a new role or unchecking the preference. The feature is available on all site plans and was announced on [Webflow's updates page]() for [Webflow]().
