Is there a Preview pane in OneDrive Live

I have not been able to find an option for previewing files in OneDrive online.
Note: This is enabled in File Explorer. This is an online issue only. Background: I am sorting and renaming about two hundred uploaded scanned files without descriptive names. The only way I have found to organize them so far is to open them in One Drive (double click), then return to the containing folder to carry out the actions.

Extra question; Is there no way to manage the files opened for viewing in OneDrive (by double clicking)?

Thank you.

    That has absolutely nothing to do with the question.
    **I repeat: Is there a viewing pane for OneDrive Live.**Please do not respond if you do not have an answer.

    There is a preview for some file types. Select the file and then click Info on the far right - it should be right under your name or initials. If a preview is supported (it is for photos), you'll see a small image.

    If you are working with images, you should see thumbnails of the images if you use Tile view - the image size under Info is slightly larger. The option to change the view is on next to the Info button.

    You can right-click on the image to preview - this is a larger preview - and rename on the right-click menu. I don't see an option to rename in the Info or preview screens.

    Hi Jo,

    The OneDrive allow you to manage or edit uploaded file either online or on the associated device however, you can manage how your want your uploaded folder or documents to be in the OneDrive using the features associated with it but if you are unable to find the advanced feature you are looking for to manage and organized the files associated with your OneDrive online, I will advise you to link up the OneDrive with the desktop and used the advanced option on the computer desktop version to organize your OneDrive files or folder and you can resync the affected files or folders back to the OneDrive.

    Note! Online version is limited to some features compared to client version installed on the desktop.

    Best Regards,
