Select a document in the eCTD tree to load it into the Preview pane. If the document type is not compatible with the Preview Pane, a message is shown containing a Download button for downloading the file to your local machine so you can view the file in an application external to Review.

Any links or bookmarks are visually highlighted in the Preview pane with a blue, clickable box. This box does not appear in the output document.
