Preview is a flexible tool designed to display the output of your Shortcut.
At its most basic, you can add text and images to a variable and then feed that variable into the Preview tool. The text and images will be displayed in the Toolbox Pro app, taking advantage of light or dark mode as well as dynamic text sizing.
You can change the styling of the page using the parameters within the tool.
You can also use the markup below to specify styling or add interactive elements, like maps or URL previews. Download the Preview Demo tool to see how it works.
