When trying the following conditional statements:

```auto
@if(edit)
  <h2 style="color:#9a27a1">Show this in Edit</h2><!-- Shows in Edit -->  
@elseif(preview)   
  <h2 style="color:#00ff00">Show this in Preview</h2><!-- Doesn't show in Preview -->
@else
  <h2 style="color:#ff0000">Show this in Publish</h2><!-- Shows in Preview & Publish -->
@endif

```

- The @ elseif(preview) is not showing up in Preview at all.

- The @ else is showing in both Preview & Publish - this really needs to only be for Publish things, as preview use case is often used to display informational messages, etc. Maybe a dedicated @ if / @ elseif (publish) would be clearer and easier when setting things up.

- the @ elseif(somecontrol) is Not showing in Edit when enabled, I used a switch
