# Object media preview

The **Object media preview** widget allows you to embed and preview images, audio, video, or document files from a [supported media source](#supported-media-sources).

## Supported media sources

#### Media references

Select a [media reference](../../media-sets-advanced-formats/media-overview/index.md#media-references) typed object property to preview the underlying media.

Image media references are resizable. Use the drag handle in the bottom-right corner to adjust the image size. Resizing is not supported for other media types.

You can configure the print settings for document media references that are applied on [Export](../export/index.md).

* **Print widget on new page if space is limited** (enabled by default): Automatically moves the widget to a new page during export if there is not enough space on the current page.
* **Auto-expand widget height on print:** Ensures the widget expands to display the entire document, making all content visible in the exported file. Auto-expand is limited to a maximum of 15 embedded pages.

Print settings are not supported for other media types.

#### Media strings

Media string options support media referenced in string object properties in the following formats:

* From a media set: `https://{my-foundry-url}/mio/api/media-set/{media set rid}/items/{media item rid}`.
* From a dataset: `https://{my-foundry-url}/foundry-data-proxy/api/web/dataproxy/datasets/{dataset rid}/transactions/{transaction rid}/{filename} or https://{my-foundry-url}/foundry-data-proxy/api/web/dataproxy/datasets/{dataset rid}/views/{branch name}/{filename}`.
* External media URL: Ensure access has been configured in your enrollment’s [Content Security Policy](../../administration/embed-foundry-externally/index.md) settings.

#### Attachments

Select an attachment typed property to render a preview of the attachment media. For details on configuring an attachment property, see [Upload attachments](../../action-types/upload-attachments/index.md).
