Disabling the previewer in Publication Manager

The previewer in the Publication Manager is slow and - to me - offer very little value. I would really appreciate an option to disable it.

  • Not only is the Publication Manager previewer slow. If I turn on the previewer under "Browse repository" and start working - for example changing metadata on several objects - everything will freeze. To fix this issue I must "kill" Oxygen in Task Manager and start from scratch. Most of my colleagues have this problem. We do have a serious issue with our network speed, but nobody seems to be able to work out where the problem is, neither my own IT people nor your product support - at least so far. This is in fact very annoying.

  • Thanks for the post Ragnar, and sorry to hear that the Previewer is not as fast as its intended to be in your case. Perhaps this is something to be investigated ...probably by support team. Could you please give us some more information regarding the version of Publication Manager; does it work slow in certain publications or all publications ; Are there other users in your organization facing the same issue?

    On a side note, the previewer window section can be stretched/squeezed by dragging the borders to make it bigger or smaller (almost invisible if needed in the interim).
