We're making it easier to inspect files without leaving the Media Library. You can now preview many more file types directly in the existing preview modal—no download required.
What's New
The Media Library now supports in-browser previews for:
PDF files
– Browse pages, zoom in and out, jump to specific pages, and select text.Word documents (.docx)
– View full document formatting, including pagination, headers, and footers.Excel and CSV files
– Open spreadsheets with worksheet tabs and familiar column headers.Audio files
– Play supported audio formats directly in the browser, including MP3, WAV, OGG, and M4A.3D models
– Interactively view supported 3D files, with controls for rotation, wireframe mode, and camera reset.Text and code files
– Preview JSON, CSS, plain text, and other supported text-based files with syntax highlighting.How It Works
- Select any file in the Media Library, or choose Previewfrom the right-click menu.
- The correct viewer will open automatically based on the file type.
Additional Notes
Preview size limits apply:
* PDF: up to 50 MB
* Word: up to 15 MB
* Excel/CSV: up to 15 MB
* 3D models: up to 50 MB

Files that exceed these limits will display a
