You can easily preview how a content item appears on the website frontend. While in principle the XperienCentral Editor presents a WYSIWYG view of your content and you are pretty much seeing it as it really is while editing it, the preview function shows you the whole picture of the content item without any sign of the Workspace or other parts of the XperienCentral backend.

Furthermore, you can make the preview of an unpublished content item temporarily available to a non-XperienCentral user, that is, someone who does not have permission to log in to the backend of your XperienCentral deployment.
