Sometimes, I put a link or a username in the description of my project and I can't just click on it and check if I am right, and “Visitor View” would allow that.

It's annoying to never know if your links work unless you either use a different account or ask someone.

it would be nice to have that option, since you will be able to see and interact your project like a visitor if you want to test links and usernames. You could always workaround this by logging out or by viewing the project in another web browser or in private mode like I do, however that requires having the project published, while the suggestion you've made wouldn't require that.

This would make it a LOT easier for me to tell if my links work or if my description is formatted the way I want it to be. True, I could sign out and view it, but a feature like this would make it much quicker and easier.

It’s pretty annoying to spend so much time and execute so many operations to check if the links and users were correctly written.

I think there should be a button called “Visitor View” next to “See Inside”. Only creator of project should be see it. When creator clicks the button, the desc will change to can't edited and tags can be clicked. When creator clicks button again, everything should back to normal. This would make checking projects tags and other things easier. It would save time.

Update: This button should be in profile page, too. It can work for “about me” and “what I'm working on”.

When I was a New Scratcher I struggled a lot, not knowing my links are actually working.

This would be extremely useful. Can you make a mock-up of the checkbox so I can see though?

Arceus supports. Sometimes I'm putting links into my projects, and it's a tedious process to check if the links work: new tab, go back to Scratch, highlight url, Ctrl+C, go back to new tab, and Ctrl+V. It's even more tedious for account links, as I have to manually type https://scratch.mit.edu/users/insert-username-here/.

As for arguments about “Just sign out!”, 1) It is also a tedious process, sign out, back button, click link, back button, sign back in, back button. 2)

*breathes in*

What if the project is unshared?
