File Preview

Preview uploaded files directly in the Documents app without leaving your browser.

When you open an uploaded file (rather than an editor document), the center panel displays a built-in viewer instead of the rich text editor. The type of viewer depends on the file format.

PDF Preview

PDF files render in a built-in viewer that lays out every page in a single scrollable column. Scroll vertically to move through the document. The viewer focuses on distraction-free reading — there are no zoom or print controls in the viewer. To zoom or print, download the file and open it in your PDF application.

Image Preview

Image files (JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WEBP) display fit-to-container in the center panel:

  • The image scales to fit the available space
  • Support for animated GIFs
  • A Download button to save the original file

Video Preview

Video files (MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM) open in a native HTML5 video player with standard controls:

  • Play/pause
  • Volume control
  • Fullscreen mode
  • Seek bar for navigation

Other File Types

For file types without a built-in viewer (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ZIP, etc.), a file information card is displayed with the file name, type, and size. Use the download button to open these files in their native application.

Download Button

A Download button is available for all file types, allowing you to save any file to your computer regardless of whether a preview is available.

Right Panel

The right panel continues to show the same tabs as for editor documents:

TabContents
Comments & IssuesLinked issues and inline comments
HistoryVersion history (each entry is an uploaded version)
RelatedCross-references to issues, meetings, and milestones
OutlineTable of contents (for editor documents)
AIDocument AI assistant

You can add tags (in the document cover header), link to project items, and view version history under the History tab for uploaded files just as you would for editor documents.
