Using Quick View to preview assets

Preview an asset and run quick actions without opening its full detail page.

Quick View gives you a fast look at an asset — a larger preview plus a handful of common actions — without opening the full detail page. It's the quickest way to check or use an asset while browsing.

Open Quick View

In Grid or Mosaic view, hover over an asset to reveal the expand icon, then click it to open Quick View. On smaller screens the icon is always visible, and tapping a thumbnail opens Quick View too. You can use it in folders, Collages, and search results.

Quick View isn't available in List view (clicking a row opens the full detail page), on the Uploaded page, or in Trash. For audio files, the View button opens the detail page instead.

To close Quick View, click the X in the top corner.

What you can do in Quick View

The window shows a file preview with the file name and quick actions:

  • Info tooltip — hover the info icon to see the asset's ID, Credit, Date Uploaded, Last Modified, File Type, and Dimension.
  • Download — click the download icon to save the asset directly.
  • 3-dot menu — Add to collage, Remove From Collage (when you're inside a Collage), or Open detail view, which opens the full asset detail page in a new tab.

Choose Quick View or the full detail page

Reach for Quick View to preview or download quickly. Use Open detail view when you need full control — editing metadata, reviewing version history, or publishing to portals. To download several assets at once, see Downloading assets.
