    Why I can't view documents in preview pane?


    I really need this function because I'm working with documents that need to upload. This function will save my time, rather than I need to open the file just to see the title. Please help me. Thank you.

    :)

  2. Preview pane is not available while viewing the pictures

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.


    To assist you better, I would like to know the file format of the image that you would like to see in preview pane.

    If the preview pane doesn’t appear, I suggest you to follow the steps and check if that helps to resolve the issue.


    • Open the folder where the images are located.

    • Click on View option at the top and choose
      Preview pane.

    • Now you will be able to see the images on the Preview pane.
    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.



    Thank you.

    Why I can't view documents in preview pane?

    Preview pane not functional / causing system issues

    Hi,

    We can see here that you're having an issue with using the preview pane for File Explorer. Since using the preview pane affects the CPU usage when trying to view Office files, we could suggest that you changed your File Explorer View setting into the Navigation
    pane by performing the following steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click on the View tab.
    • Select Preview pane to remove it from being highlighted.

    Once done, try to open files using Office apps and check if this helps your Surface Pro 4 works fine.

    We look forward to your reply.
