Note: I reviewed the current core/classic editor behavior for previewing drafts and confirmed that for drafts core performs a full (draft) save for previews. whatever you set as featured image gets saved when you click preview on drafts. We should probably replicate that behavior in Gutenberg. We can probably switch to performing a full save right in @aduth or @youknowriad appreciate any feedback on the best approach, I will open an issue to track this task separately. |

If this is how Core does it, I'm totally fine with the approach.

I'm not certain though how #11409 would fix for non published posts.

I can confirm that you can't see the featured image until your draft is saved.

It solves the issue for drafts and published posts that are saved.
Let's ship it as is and tackle the last case separately ad @adamsilverstein suggested.
