Previewing managed files and URLs

You can preview the contents of managed files or URLs. When you preview a managed file or URL, a separate browser window opens to display the contents of the selected file or URL. For example, if you preview an image file, a browser window opens to display the image contained in that file.

This type of preview is different from the store preview. Use the store preview to preview the managed file or URL on a store page.
