I'm using Next.JS hosted on Vercel. After figuring out that CSP was blocking some of the scripts used by the toolbar I've got previews working, and the prismic toolbar renders and seems to function ok ... but there is an error in the console: Uncaught Error: Unexpected message received by the ifra…

Hi Lee, Their issue is that Sharable Previews don’t work with Next.js in static mode.

Hi again Jeremy, I updated our next.js previews documentation to include a section about helpers which will enable you to have shareable links. A warning though shareable links for pages that have never been published still don't work so I'm still looking into this. [image] Previews with …
