Built-In Viewers for Document and Spreadsheet Formats
Each supported file type opens in a purpose-built viewer component, so teams can review documents, text files, and spreadsheets without leaving the File Manager interface.
Preview PDF documents

Preview Word documents
Preview Word and text documents directly within the File Manager using the integrated Document Editor. Scrolling and searching content stay available while the document remains in place. Use this feature when reviewing proposals, reports, letters, or other business documents.
Preview Excel spreadsheets
Preview Excel spreadsheets directly within the File Manager using the integrated Spreadsheet component. Preserve formulas, formatting, and worksheet data while reviewing content in the same view. Use this feature when analyzing budgets, reports, inventory, or business data.
