A grid - showing preview or actual attach document

Question

Hi All, 
 
 Can Anyone guide me on how to show preview or actual document inside a grid? I have a grid of documents , documentID number, name, but with the document ID is not enough to show the actual preview of document, does anyone know or can advise me how to achieve this? 
 
 thanks in advance

Hi Maria , 
 Document viewer component cannot be used inside a grid. My suggestion would be to show the documents for each row in a record action dialog or showing each row's documents beside/below the grid (based on the existing design) on selection.

Whatever process your grid is already being utilized in, just do that. 
 My normal pattern for instance is to create a Rich Text Icon on the relevant row, wherein the click copies the Document ID into a local variable - and a document viewer component configured to only appear when the local variable is populated with a Doc ID, and when it is, it shows that document. It's user-friendly and intuitive. Note that the list of file types you can show in the Document Viewer is limited, unfortunately.
