Asset Library — Thumbnails, Previews, Drive and WordPress Links

Hover thumbnails for a bigger preview, click Drive/WordPress indicators to jump to the external file or post.

What is it?

Interactive elements on each draft row/card:

Thumbnail with hover preview — the small thumbnail image expands into a larger floating preview when you hover it, with action buttons (View, Download, Word export).
Drive folder link — if the draft was saved to Google Drive, a folder icon appears. Click to open the Drive folder in a new tab.
WordPress indicator — if published to WordPress, a WP icon appears. Click to open the published post.

When should I use it?

You're scanning the library and want a quick visual check on a specific draft's image.
You need to jump to the Drive folder to share it with a client.
You want to verify a post is live on WordPress.

How to use it

Hover any thumbnail. A floating preview opens above it (or below, depending on screen edge).
Use the preview's buttons: View (opens the draft in Content Studio), Download (downloads the image), Word (exports the article as .docx).
To visit Drive or WordPress, click the corresponding icon in the row.
Move your mouse away — the preview fades after 200ms to avoid flicker.

Tips and best practices

Thumbnails are the fastest visual triage — you can spot-check image quality across all drafts without opening each one.
Drive links are per-user — each user sees their own uploaded folder. If a teammate saved to their Drive, you won't see that folder unless explicitly shared.
The WP link goes to the post edit URL (for editors) or the public post (for published content).

Gotchas and limits

Thumbnails need images generated. Drafts without visuals show a placeholder.
The hover preview uses a fixed position; on very tall screens it can feel far from the cursor — not a bug.
Drive folder URLs depend on Drive connection. If Drive was disconnected, the link may 404.
WordPress indicators only appear after successful publish. If publish failed, no indicator.
