# Document preview
To display documents in the client preview, different classes are available. These can be configured for various file formats. Some of these preview classes are permanently implemented in the client, while others use external programs, such as a browser or an Office application, for embedded display.
Many other file formats can be displayed via the browser preview (or Microsoft Internet Explorer preview) if a corresponding plug-in is installed in the browser.
