Access 2.4 enables you to preview custom errors for post types and archives, right from the user interface. It also allows you to use template layouts for displaying errors for contents without the read permissions.
Custom error preview in Access
When a user role controlled by Access does not have the permissions to view certain content on the front-end, you can specify what is displayed: default error, a 404 page, or a layout (or Content Template if you are not using Layouts).
Until now, the only way to preview what is being displayed in this case was to log into the site with an account with that user role and checking out the pages in question manually.
We found this to be a big user experience issue, so we added the link to preview errors right from your admin account. No need to login as another user and check things manually. Simply click the preview link and the error page is loaded in another tab/window.
Use template layouts to display errors for contents without the read permission
Until now, you only had the option to select a Content Template to display the errors for contents without read permission (for a given user role).
Now that using Toolset to build websites is based on Layouts (at least as the recommended workflow), it was only logical to allow you to select a template layout to display errors.
