Laserfiche 8.1 introduces a new Preview Pane in the Folder Browser. This feature allows you to quickly view the contents of any document that has image pages, without having to open it in the Document Viewer. When the Preview Pane is open, you can select a document in the Contents Pane and its first page will immediately display in the Preview Pane. If you open the Preview Pane from a set of search results, the search highlights will also be visible on the image.

You can use tools such as Pan and Zoom to view and move around the images, or move between multiple pages of a document by clicking the green arrows at the top of the pane. You can also jump directly to a particular page by typing it in the Choose Page option at the top of the screen. Annotations are visible in the Preview Pane as well.

The Preview Pane is read-only and only displays image pages; it does not display text, metadata, or electronic files. To view the other elements of a document, or to modify the document, you will need to open it in the Document Viewer. If you select an entry that has no image pages (such as a folder, an electronic document, or an empty document), the Preview Pane will indicate that no image pages are available for preview.
