Preview Pane

Depending on what preview options are selected, the Preview pane displays either:

• A preview of the selected object's contents, when Topics, File Objects, and Style Objects have been selected

  -or-

• A list of the selected object's Edit History

  -or-

• The object's properties.

Although you cannot edit an object directly in the preview pane, you can right-click and open it from a shortcut menu. Choosing a File Object or Embedded Topic when previewing a Topic, displays the File Object or Embedded Topic in the preview pane. Choosing a Hypertext Link object displays the Hyperlink's properties in the preview pane.

When a Topic being previewed contains a File Object, Embedded Topic, or Hypertext Link Object, you can right-click on that object and open it from the shortcut menu.

The preview pane can be displayed below, or to the right of the object list.
