# Preview

You have three different ways of previewing the photo and/or the metadata of a photo.

1. Only preview the metadata
2. Medium-sized preview of the photo and the metadata
3. Fullscreen preview of the photo and the metadata

#### Photo Name display on preview

With the release of **Naviga Photos 4.3.2**, photo names are now displayed consistently across all key areas where photo previews or thumbnails appear

* **Naviga Photos** (Search and History tabs)
* **Newsroom Planner- My Assignments**

On uploading photo to Naviga Photos, the original image filename is saved as the photo name. Photo names are displayed as an overlay on images with a fixed maximum length; longer names are truncated with ellipses, and the full name is visible on hover.

This enhancement is **config‑driven**:

1. A new toggle, **`showPhotoName`**, is introduced in the configuration of **Dashboard plugins:** Naviga Photos and Newsroom Planner

* When the **showPhotoName** toggle is turned **on**, photo names are displayed on images. When the toggle is turned **off**, photo names are hidden.
* Bydefault this toggle remains ON.
