Thumbnails are nice for getting an overview or a first impression, but if you want to explore an asset in detail, you must use other means. Therefore, Cumulus provides asset previews or, to be more specific, different modes for previewing assets. To see a preview of an asset:
1. In the Record pane, select the record of the asset you want to preview and click the Preview window button in the main toolbar.
A preview of the asset is displayed in a new window. Thus you can see your current collection and the preview of the selected asset side by side.
The toolbar of the Preview window offers functions for handling the preview, such as zooming in and out, flipping and rotating, and adding comments and annotations in different styles directly into the preview of the asset. When hovering with the pointer over an button, a tip appears presenting details on the respective function.
