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.

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.

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.

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.
