In MemoQ 9.3, how do I display the html preview pane beneath the segment area in the editor window?

When I look at the picture of this setup in my customer's instructions document, I don't have the same display. Even though I have the option HTML Preview in the View Pane drop-down. Why?

I'm translating product information on a website, and need to be able to view the information given by the strings in the HTML as I translate each segment.

Just got to the lower border and pull it up, should work (if HTML preview is activated)

I get no double-pointing arrow when going to lower border on the left side Oct 10, 2020

I tried now going to the lower border on the left side (beneath the segments), but I don't get any double-pointing arrow displayed.

V 9.3 here too, and at the bottom I have two small windows, one says "View pane" on the left and the other shows the file data (TR: 876, Empty: 70, Pre: 0, etc.). You should have a thick border line above View pane which does show a double arrow (here on my system) and which you can pull up once the double arrow shows up.

View tab > click on the View Pane icon Oct 10, 2020

This part of the UI is neither obvious nor well designed. It's simple once you know it and cryptic when you don't.

Edit: I have added an idea not to hide actions behind icons at the new MemoQ Ideas portal for subscribers at ideas.memoq.com.

Agree, it's not obvious but simple once I found it out Oct 10, 2020

Thanks Thomas, I found it out a while ago before you posted your reply. I simply clicked on the button, didn't get it that it was a button and that the second step after having selected HTML Preview in the drop-down on the View Pane button was to simply click that button. After having done that, the preview area of the HTML coding opened up beneath the segments.
