Previewing an Email

You can easily display a Preview of an email. This gives a quick snapshot of any email.

There are two ways to do a Preview.

• Click the Full Screen icon next to the email in a list.
• Using the Preview tab in the Drawer.

You can also use the Read function to open one or more documents as read-only in separate tabs in your browser. Refer to Viewing Documents as Read Only.

Preview Office Via OneDrive

In the Settings for each user is an option Preview Office Via OneDrive. This determines how the Preview function displays Office documents. This can be set "On" or "Off" (refer to Individual Settings).

• When Preview Office via OneDrive is set as "On", the document displays in the Preview and retains the same formatting as when opening the document from the Office product on the desktop.
• When Preview Office Via OneDrive is set as "Off", this is quicker to display, but you may find that the formatting of the content of the document may not be accurate, especially for more complex documents.
