Below the edit box is a "Show preview" button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually implementing your edits (i.e. publishing your changes online.) It is strongly recommended that you use this before hitting "Publish changes", which will cause your edits to be published onto the page and made visible immediately to everybody.
