Comment Previewing
To preview a comment requires that you create a specific Template for it. This Template will contain at minimum two tags. The first is the tag that shows the preview:
{exp:comment:preview}
{comment}
{/exp:comment:preview}
The second is the Comment Submission Form tag. This allows the comment to be displayed as well as the form containing the info so it can be previewed again or submitted.
