Preview files
Instantly view files without opening or downloading them, saving time and allowing you to continue working undisturbed
In construction projects, every minute counts. Prostream’s preview function lets you quickly view files without opening or downloading them. Whether it is construction drawings, reports or contracts, you get instant insight into the content without interrupting your work. This quick access saves you time and unnecessary delay.
The benefits of file previewing
Quickly check file contents
The preview function in Prostream lets you quickly view files without having to open or download them. This saves valuable time, especially when you need quick access to the contents of important documents, such as construction drawings or reports.
Stay focused and work faster
Because you can instantly view a file in Prostream without interrupting your current work, you stay focused and efficient. No unnecessary downloads or extra steps; you keep your work smooth and organised.
No confusion over correct versions
Prostream’s preview function lets you quickly view the latest version of a file. Because you don’t need to download files, you never have multiple versions of the same file on your local disk. This avoids confusion between different versions of files. This prevents errors.
Redundant storage is a thing of the past
Previewing files instead of downloading them prevents your device from unnecessarily filling up with temporary files. This makes for a tidy system and less storage management, which is useful for large construction projects with lots of documentation.

Frequently asked questions about file previewing
What exactly is file previewing?
Need to quickly check a document without having to download it straight away? Then take a look at the preview. Whether it is an image, Microsoft Office file, PDF or anything else, you can take a quick look on all your devices.
How does file previewing work?
By clicking on the relevant document, a pop-up with a preview appears on the right. If you click on it, this preview will appear larger. This allows you to see the contents of the file immediately. More information on previewing and viewing files can be found here.

PROSTREAM FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
Boost your projects by combining this feature with:
Smart search
Search all information within your project or organisation. Find a file and directly see its content.
Quality assurance (with Snags)
In case of deviations you can easily place a Snag on, for example, a technical drawing. Create different default template snags for different observations; is it a defect, improvement or a request for information? You decide.
Messages
With the messaging module, you can send messages to other Prostream users. This way, you can keep all communication about a project in one place.
Document tasks
Create document tasks so everyone immediately knows which actions they need to take with a document, or which information is for them.
