# How do I see a scrap bigger in the Junk Yard?

Click a text or image thumbnail and it opens in a **preview** — a movable, resizable window. Rich notes show in full, including any images inside them, and a coloured scrap tints the preview to match.

From the preview you can set the scrap's lifetime/pin and colour, **Edit**, **Copy**, **Delete**, and for a file, **Open** it. Use the ‹ › buttons or the arrow keys to page through other scraps.
