# Previewing a Document

You can preview the front page of a document selected in the workspace. By previewing a document, you can check its contents without opening Viewer.
You can only preview DocuWorks files, DocuWorks file shortcuts, and PDF documents. Non-DocuWorks files cannot be previewed.
Procedure
1.
Select [Preview] from [InfoView] on the [View] menu.
The InfoView preview window appears.
2.
In the workspace, select a document for which you want to display the contents.
The preview for the selected document is displayed in the preview window.
Note

- If the front page is a pageless document, nothing is displayed in the preview window.
- For a pageless document in a binder, nothing is displayed in the preview window and DocuWorks skips to the next document in the binder.
- You can use the pop-up menu that is displayed when you right-click inside the preview window to change the zoom ratio, show or hide annotations, and flip between pages in a document or binder.
- If you are previewing page 2 or later in a file and another user updates the file, the display may return to page 1.
