Contract thumbnail preview
You can preview files in the thumbnail: change page by clicking arrows on left and right edge of the contract card.
Zoom in to see bigger contract cards and read the content without opening the contract. This is a handy feature if you want to compare two contracts side by side – just zoom in and start flipping the pages
The contract which you opened last time is framed with dashed line. If you see a pink dot in the contract card, it means that the contract’s metadata is incomplete, the document is in error, contract is a duplicate or the end date of the contract has passed
