Previewing managed files and URLs

You can preview the contents of managed files or URLs. When you preview a managed file or URL, a separate browser window opens to display the contents of the selected file or URL. For example, if you preview an image file, a browser window opens to display the image contained in that file.

About this taskThis type of preview is different from the store preview. Use the store preview to preview an attachment in a store page. For example, if you use the store preview to verify that an attachment works in a store page, the store preview opens a browser window to display the store page with the attachment.
