@VBNTG, Change the status of product to draft

But if i make it a draft it won't show in my store and i can't edit it. 

I just want to edit it in my online store and see how it looks like, but I don't want the customers to see the product.

@VBNTG, shopify doesn't provide the feature like that.
If you're comfortable with coding, you can assign a product tag to the items you want to hide and a different tag to the customers you want to show them to. When you log in with that customer account, you'll be able to see the product, while it remains hidden from others.

{% assign show_product = true %}
{% if product.tags contains "hide" %}
  {% unless customer and customer.tags contains "show" %}
    <!-- This product will be hidden -->
    {% assign show_product = false %}
  {% endunless %}
{% endif %}

{% if show_product %}
  <!-- Display product information -->
{% endif %}

If you're not familiar with coding, I recommend using an app to help you hide specific products from all accounts except yours like: LockSmith, B: B2B Lock Password Protect,...
