Work with print previews (censhare Web)

This functionality allows you to get a comprehensive overview of the issue for discussing it in editorial meetings.

For better planning and quality control of the prepared issue, you can use the print preview mode. It will open a separate window with all pages placed on one view, overlaid with a wide range of information about the issue (e.g., page numbers, size, etc.). You can even print or export a PDF copy of the such preview.
