    I hope this documentation helps you. Just pass your documentId for the document parameter.

    [mention:50db1cd8fb304dd499245322b8cbac67:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  that's the expected behavior, you can't preview a docx you must convert it to PDF to show it with the document viewer.

    As to why a docx can't be previewed, it has to do with the browser -> community.appian.com/.../preview-docx-doc-xls-etc-in-browser
