Work on a Wordpress site in Plesk before DNS is pointed

I've installed Wordpress on a 'subscription' in Plesk (latest version) on my server. The domain related to the subscription is not currently pointed to my server. However, I'd like to work on the Wordpress admin area before I point the domain.

Can this be done? At the moment if I use the 'login' button on the domain in Plesk it redirects me to the actual domain. Which as I say isn't currently pointed so gives me an error.

Can I access the website via the server and the directory folder of the site?

Thank you

You can update your hosts file to map the domain to the IP address of your server.

If the domain were example.com and the IP address of your server was 111.111.111.111 you would just need to add the line:

111.111.111.111 example.com

You can find where your hosts file is located here.
