<p>This topic is going to explain why there aren't thumbnails for documents
26
<p>Every time you open <app>Documents</app> you can see a preview thumbnail
27
in most of the documents.</p>
28
<p>The documents that presented the preview thumbnail, are stored locally.</p>
29
<p>You can not be able to see the preview thumbnail of others (or they are
30
presented in blank) because they are stored in a remote server like
31
<gui>Google Docs</gui>.</p>
32
<p>If you want to see the preview thumbnail of the documents that are stored
33
in remote servers, you may download them and then it will generate a thumbnail
34
because they are going to be stored locally in your computer.</p>
35
<note style="important">
36
<p>The content of the document from <gui>Google Docs</gui> is going to be
37
updated at the time you downloaded the document.</p><p>If you want to read an
38
edit it online as you were doing before, it is better to not download.</p>
