I really wish the preview was scrollable separately, since I tend to write long answers, and jumping between the edit window and the end of my answer is a pain...

@ThomasAndrews This is a digression from the original question, but I will mention that one of the answers here mention something similar to your suggestion: Question and preview might be better side-by-side. Having preview next to the editing box was discussed also on this meta: Can Math SE rearrange the textbox and the preview box into two column? and Editing panel and preview side-by-side - fighting lag on large answers!

There is no "preview button".
Just to confirm information in the comments, and to check whether asking a question presented an issue with respect to seeing a preview, I posted the following "example question":
Note the text and formatting I typed in the question field (labeled "body" in the image below). Also note that directly below the question field ("body") in which we type/format a question, is a preview of the text/formatting as it renders, from the question field.
We observe that the title is not available for preview, in terms of how it will appear in the posted question. One can always copy and paste the title and insert at the very top (or bottom) of the body, prior to posting, to ensure it renders properly, and if edits to the title are needed, edit. Then before submitting the question, simply remember to remove the copy and paste of the question in the body, and you are good to go.
Note that my screenshot comes from a notebook pc; I cannot speak for previews on mobile devices.

The only issue, if I'm not wrong, I think is that we can't see a preview for the title when it contains formulas. But we can copy that in the text and see how it looks like.

@gimusi Yes, the problem with titles was mentioned a few times. Some related posts on this meta: Latex preview on question title? and Why not add the title of the question in the preview while writing it?. (And on Meta Stack Exchange: Please include the title in the question preview.)

Note to future readers: This is only valid on the computer webpage. On the Android app, for example, there is a Preview button on the top right of the page.
