The Preview Pane
When a case, a document or a contact is displayed on a list, you can quickly see part of the content and references in a preview panel. The preview panel contains different information depending on whether you open a case, a document or a contact.
The preview pane provides a preview of an item on a list. When you have selected, for example, a case in a list and clicked Preview , the case is displayed in the preview pane.
The following display options are available for the preview pane:
