Previewing the document allows you to look at how the text will appear when you generate the translated document. You may also want to preview the document in the application in which it was originally created if SDL Trados Studio does not have a file filter available to preview the document in the Preview window in Studio.

tab appears on the top right corner of the Editor
view. Click the

tab on the top right corner of the Editor
view, select View tab >
