Preview Image
The Preview Image provides a visual reference tied to the planning record. This read-only feature allows users to quickly identify or verify the planner based on its associated image. It often represents seasonal range or collection preview imagery so plans are recognisable at a glance in grids and cards.
Preview images are displayed on the summary card and within the planner detail view. These images are typically uploaded during the planner creation process or linked via associated styles. Users cannot edit the image from this section, but can view it in fullscreen.
Quick Check - Before You Start
- Remember that this widget is read-only; plan image changes happen during planner creation or via linked style imagery
- Open the planner whose visual identity you need to confirm before relying on the thumbnail alone

- Select one or more styles; each chosen style displays its preview image in the list.
- Review the images to confirm selections before saving to the Planner.

Troubleshooting
Why is the preview image blank or low quality?
The image usually comes from planner creation or linked styles; a missing or compressed source file shows poorly in the sidebar.
Steps to resolve:
- Open the fullscreen viewer to confirm whether the source asset is genuinely missing or only the thumbnail is small.
- Update imagery at planner creation or on the linked style record, then refresh the planner.
I need to swap the image but this section will not let me edit—what should I do?
The Preview Image widget is intentionally read-only.
Steps to resolve:
- Edit the image during Create Planner or adjust the linked style’s artwork per your media process.
- Reload the planner after the upstream image changes.
Fixed Group previews look wrong compared to my final selection—why?
During Fixed Group style adds, previews reflect each style you select before you save the plan.
Steps to resolve:
- Re-run the add flow and verify each selected style shows the expected preview before saving.
- Remove mistaken styles from the selection list if the wrong product image was chosen.
