Preview an item revision when you want a fast way to look at the contents of an item revision without first checking it out or getting a local copy of it.
The item revision opens in the editor assigned to that item's format.
In the desktop client this assignment is determined by your Windows association for the file's extension, unless an editor has been associated with the item format in the Editors tab of the Preferences dialog box.
While you have an item revision open in your editor, you can print it.
NOTE You cannot preview a directory item.
NOTE When you preview a virtual, or placeholder, item, you will just see the item header with the appropriate variables substituted.
