Using Z-Preview
Learn how to preview files in Z-Chat conversations, Z-Files, and Z-Mails without downloading or installing software.
Preview in Z-Chat
When a colleague shares a file in a chat conversation:
- The file appears as an attachment card showing the file name, size, and type.
- Click on the attachment card to open the preview overlay.
- The file renders directly in the chat window — no download needed.
- Use the toolbar to zoom in/out, navigate pages (for multi-page documents), or download if needed.
Source Code in Chat
When someone shares a code file (e.g., .js, .py, .java):
- The code is displayed with syntax highlighting and line numbers.
- You can read and review the code directly without opening an IDE.
- Perfect for quick code reviews, sharing snippets, and discussing implementation details.
Office Documents in Chat
When someone shares a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file:
- Word — Renders with formatting, images, and tables intact.
- Excel — Shows spreadsheet data with sheet tabs for multi-sheet files.
- PowerPoint — Displays slides with navigation controls.
Preview in Z-Files
- Open Z-Files and navigate to the file you want to view.
- Click on the file name to open the preview.
- The file renders in a full-width preview panel.
- From the preview, you can:
- Download the original file
- Share the file with colleagues
- Open in Z-Docs (for supported document types)
Preview in Z-Mails
When you receive an email with attachments:
- Attachments appear at the bottom of the email.
- Click on an attachment to preview it inline.
- No need to download files to check their contents.
Hancom Office Documents
Z-Preview provides native rendering for Hancom Office formats:
- HWP/HWPX (한글) — Korean word processing documents render with full formatting fidelity.
- CELL (한셀) — Spreadsheets display with formulas and formatting.
- SHOW (한쇼) — Presentations render with slide navigation.
This is particularly useful for teams collaborating with Korean government agencies or enterprises that use Hancom Office as their standard suite.
Tip: For the best preview experience, ensure your files are saved in the latest format versions (e.g.,
.docxinstead of.doc,.hwpxinstead of.hwp).
