# Preview Content Store Element

## Overview

The Preview view displays a read-only representation of a selected content store element.

The type of preview depends on the MIME type of the element.

---

## Navigation

*Content > Content Store*

From any tab (Images, Text, Media, Other, All Files), open the context menu of an element and select **Preview**.

---

## Preview Behavior by Content Type

The displayed content varies depending on the file type.

### Images

Image elements are displayed in a larger visual preview than in the overview or Details panel.

### HTML or Text-Based Files

HTML-based content is rendered directly in the preview window.

### Other File Types

If the file type cannot be rendered, no visual preview is shown. In this case, the preview provides access to metadata and download options only.

---

## Displayed Information

The Preview view may include:

- Element name and ID
- A visual preview (if supported)
- URL for download
- System-generated placeholders

The preview does not allow editing.

To modify the element, use the Edit or Settings options in the Content Store.
