To preview an asset, double-click its thumbnail.

If the asset is an image, the preview will show a zoomable, scrollable, larger version of the image.

If the asset is a PDF, the preview will show you a zoomable view that you can page through and copy text from.

If the asset is a video, the preview shows a playable view.

If the asset is any other type of file, the preview will show either an image of the first page of the document, a preview resource embedded in the asset file, or a generic icon.
