• Zooming images.
• Panning images.
• Going full screen on images.
• Zoom controls are available within the modal.
• Scroll wheel zoom is anchored to the cursor.
• The floating toolbar in the modal can be repositioned.
• Keyboard shortcuts are available for full screen viewing.
• Users can exit back to the normal modal view after previewing.

HighLevel has not confirmed any limits, plan gating, or specific rollout status for this feature.

Where to find it

This feature is located within the HighLevel Media Library. To access it, navigate to the Media Library, then select an image to preview.

How agencies will use this

An agency managing multiple client accounts might use this when reviewing content for a new campaign. For example, a content manager could be assembling assets for a client's upcoming social media posts. Instead of downloading every image to confirm it's the correct version or has the right aspect ratio, they can now quickly click on an image in the Media Library. They can then zoom in to check for pixelation or small text, pan across larger images, and go full screen to get a clear view. This allows for faster asset approval and reduces the need to switch applications or clutter their local downloads folder, streamlining the content creation workflow for their clients.

Our take

This is a standard quality-of-life improvement. It addresses a minor inconvenience for users who regularly interact with images in the HighLevel Media Library. It will save some time by reducing the need to download files for quick review. While not a groundbreaking feature, it contributes to a smoother user experience within the platform.
