Preview & Customize: Consider removing the "You're previewing" modal #94096

What

We have too many modals and notices in the Preview & Customize experience.

When entering the experience, users will be greeted by the following modal. Image

When they enter edit mode, users will see the banner and possibly the Welcome Tour if it's their first time in the Editor.

Image

There are too many elements on screen demanding user's attention. Consider removing the "You're previewing" modal in favor of a notice in the sidebar, with guidance to the Help Center for more information.

Why

Contributes to the overall WordPress.com experience.

How

No response

Mmmm... I agree that this feels redundant but at the same time, it is important enough to give users multiple heads-ups.

Maybe we could make the persistent banner dismissable?
