So, I am using a template collumn as the content source for glides “Create file” action

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/6/769a5ac5d348bbc4240727f6c93fba99396b04b4.png)

, inside the template collumn is a complete html code. Is there a way to make a preview of the html template without generating the file yet? As like an “image” or something

If it is HTML, you could use HTML to URL column and then put that url in a web embed component?
