Inception Running Order Question: How to unlink "Playout View: Preview" from what is On Air.

    I am looking for a way to break the connection between the "Preview" Playout View and what is on air in a Running Order.  I like having students use the "Preview" to quickly scan through stories during rehearsals especially when they are practicing anchoring.  This works great until we are on the air and the "Preview" windows locks to the on-air story instead of the selected story.  The other Playout View options (Manual and Follow on Air) hide the "Preview" window and are not helpful.  Any ideas on how I can keep the Preview window independent of what is on air is greatly appreciated.  

    Looking for a way to make the preview window always show the selected story even when we are On Air
