 Replying to [comment:7 sabernhardt]:
 > On the theme installation page, [52819] intentionally removed the Live
 Preview links for any block themes (backported to 5.9.3). See #54878 and
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blame/6.9.1/src/wp-admin
 /theme-install.php#L418 theme-install.php].


 @sabernhardt Thanks for pointing this out and for the reference. I’m just
 curious about the inconsistency, before installing a block theme, the
 Preview button is visible, but after installation the Live Preview button
 disappears (only Activate shows).

 Meanwhile, classic themes still show Live Preview after installation on
 the same page. This feels a bit inconsistent and potentially confusing
 from a UX perspective.
