The Preview view, which is part of the Install/Update perspective, displays detailed information about the current active selection. Its content changes as the selection changes.
In some cases, the Preview is simply an extended description of the selection, or a page offering suggested actions based on the selection. In other cases the preview can be used to perform specific actions against the selection.
Preview for the currect configuration displays information about the primary feature defined for the workspace.
Preview for a selected feature displays relevant installation information about the feature. If an action can be taken against the selection, it shows as an action button in the preview.
Preview for a selected history displays relevant configuration information about the history entry. If an action can be taken against the selection, it shows as an action button in the preview.
Preview for a search item displays relevant configuration information about the query. Query Settings and Scope Settings can be changed in the Preview. The Search Now button shown in the Preview triggers the search. The search results are presented in the preview.
Like other views in the Workbench, the Preview view has its own toolbar.
