Install

3. Create a ModelAdmin that manages your DataObject.
4. Create a Page + Page Controller to render your DataObject preview.
   • example_files/PreviewPage.php
5. Create a Template for your Preview Page.
   • example_files/PreviewPage.ss
6. Run /dev/build and ?flush=all

Troubleshooting

• Make sure your DataObject has defined $preview_page.
