"Preview app as"! if you just say "preview" it could refer to "Preview" functions or "Desktop mode (Preview) or some other thing that makes sense only to you. And it's best to include a screenshot of the area you are asking about to make it clear to others what you mean.
Examples of other "preview" items

I am not sure if you mean the "reply" i just answered above or if you mean your original post. In case its the original post....
First, I should point out that the "Preview App as" is an ability to look at the app as a different user. You shouldn't refer to them as "accounts" which will be taken to mean AppSheet accounts. Users will typically NOT have an Appsheet Account.
The correct way to switch back and forth is to simply paste in/enter the email address you wish into the "Preview app as" field and then tap the Apply button.
NOTE: I have encountered issues with Slices that rely on USEREMAIL() function not properly recognizing the "preview as" email address. I workaround this problem by temporarily using the hard coded email address in the Slice criteria instead of the USEREMAIL() function.
If for some reason, it seems that the "Preview app as" feature is not switching users after tapping Apply, then you can simply REFRESH the Editor browser page. It will basically restart the app in the Editor using your email address.
I hope this helps!
