# Previewing and Editing

## Showing and Hiding Previews

Most lists in Taglo software follow the same approach to displaying information about their items.

Clicking on an item in the list (or anywhere next to the item) will bring up a **preview panel** on the right-hand side of the list.

{% hint style="info" %}
The only exception to this is when you are selecting an item from a list [**within a Dialog**](/using-taglo-software/the-taglo-interface/using-wizards.md#selecting-items-in-dialogs), in which case, clicking directly on the item will select the item - you will need to click next to the item to preview it.
{% endhint %}

Clicking on the close button (<img src="/files/NOwx4TEKSHYrfLTEMGDi" alt="Screenshot of the &#x22;Collapse preview&#x22; button" data-size="line">) in the preview panel will collapse the preview to the right hand side of the list. To reopen the preview, press the open preview button (<img src="/files/LmV5kBeVOZlz089hFJCM" alt="Screenshot of the &#x22;Expand Preview&#x22; button" data-size="line">) in the collapsed preview.

The user then closes the preview panel and reopens it."><figcaption><p>Showing and collapsing the Preview Panel</p></figcaption></figure>

## Preview Actions

You will also usually see a standard set of buttons at the top of the preview <img src="/files/gYSFBSn3YQD1QDoxEDJA" alt="Screenshot of the Edit, Copy and Delete buttons" data-size="line">  that will allow you to perform common actions:

1. **Edit** the item - clicking here will open an Edit [**Wizard** ](/using-taglo-software/the-taglo-interface/using-wizards.md)\[or use `Ctrl+E` keyboard shortcut]
2. **Copy** the item - clicking here will create a duplicate item \[or use `Ctrl+D` keyboard shortcut]
3. **Delete** the item - \[or press `Del` key with one or more items selected in the list]&#x20;

Edit, Copy and Delete controls are also shown on the collapsed preview.

{% hint style="info" %}
In some lists, you may be able to edit multiple items simultaneously, and the preview panel will show a different view for single and multiple selections
{% endhint %}
