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.

Choosing a File Object, Style Object, Topic, or Embedded Topic from the object list displays the image or text in the preview pane. Choosing other objects displays their properties in the preview pane.

Although you cannot edit a Topic or Book object directly in the preview pane, you can right-click and open it from a menu. 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 menu.

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