CMS Request: Previewing Files in the Upload Button Before Submitting

Collecting votes

Currently, when visitors use the upload button connected to your CMS collections, they can select and upload files (such as images, documents, videos, and audio). However, there isn't an option for them to preview the selected file before submitting it via your site's form.

Adding the ability to preview the uploaded file would help visitors make sure they selected the correct file before confirming their submission. This would enhance the upload experience by reducing mistakes and providing extra peace of mind—particularly for important uploads like resumes, ID documents, or images for galleries.

For example, a site visitor uploading an image could check if it's the correct photo before sending it, or someone submitting a document could verify they attached the right file without needing to re-upload.
