Hi Pascal,
this variable is filled out at the last stage of the process.

Therefore, pointing to the demo URL in Purple is OK.
For example: http://dev.ipol.im/~colom/ipol_demo/ponomarenko/

It is up to the editor in charge to decide if/when an article should  
be uploaded as a preprint. If the authors want their articles to be  
uploaded as preprints, they have to ask their editor and wait for  
his/her decision.

Best,
Miguel
