Detail View vs. Preview#
This topic explains the difference between preview and detail views in TheHive for cases, alerts, tasks, observables, TTPs, user accounts, and organizations—so you know when to use each and what to expect from both.
What's the difference#
A detail view appears when you select an item. It opens a full page showing all available information and actions.
A preview appears when you hover over an item and select the button. It opens a drawer with a summary—without leaving your current view. If needed, you can access the full detail view directly from the preview.
