By the way, the fragile code solution does not work for me. It does
toggle the button but it does not activate the atlas preview.
# open layout
designer = iface.openLayoutDesigner(layout)
# turn on atlas preview mode
lo_view = designer.view()
lo_window = lo_view.window()
action = lo_window.findChild(QAction, 'mActionAtlasPreview')
action.toggle()

Hi Nyall,
It sounded great and I spent some hours on that better approach, but I
didn't succeed. So maybe 3.6 will have it...
Tnx!

You'd have to do some fragile code to do this. Basically:
- get designer window from designer.view()'s parent window
- find the mActionAtlasPreview child action in the window
- manually toggle it on
This should work, but isn't stable API - so is likely to break ;)
A better approach is to (quickly, before 3.4 final!) file a PR
exposing the toggle atlas preview behavior to
QgsLayoutDesignerInterface. Then you'll be able to just do:
designer = iface.openLayoutDesigner( layout )
designer.toggleAtlasPreview( True )

Hope anyone knows!
Kind regards,
