The new update to ArcGIS Online (June 2026), which has enabled us to use custom print templates is great but the fact it costs 5 credits per print and the lack of any preview is a real sticking point in my eyes. I could probably deal with 5 credits per print if I knew the users wouldn't go through multiple interations of printing to get exactly what they want. 

My idea is simple - please enable the print element/widget to have a 'preview' option, so the users are able to see what the print will look like and make any amends if deemed necessary. By all means watermark it or whatever else for the preview but it would make a huge difference! Hopefully others feel similar.

Yes, but really we need cheaper printing too, 5 credits is a money burner. Given desktop users can utilise ArcPro templates all day - every day, AGOL templates are by design for everyone else and those users are the majority.
