I have been playing with the new 'Lightning Experience' in Winter 16 in our sandbox. It seems that there is now the ability, when you are in Lightning Experience mode, to upload a document, in this case a Word document (.docx) as an attachement, and then have it show up with a different option in the related list:



As you can see, there is now a 'Preview' option that will show up even when you switch back to Classic mode (but you can only have this happend when you upload in Lightning experience mode). When clicked, this will then allow the user to VIEW the document in an overlay from inline rather than having to download the document to their machine and then view it. This is an awesome feature that I would love to incorporate into a VisualForce page. I have developed a VF Page for reviewing applications received from applicants (we are a Higher Learning institution), and as part of the application, we have Letters of Recommendations, Personal Essays, and other documents that tend to be Microsoft Word. I would dearly love to display these to the user WITHOUT them having to download the document. 

I realize that this is fairly new functionality, but it is a burning issue with me - was wondering if anyone else has tried to do this, been able to do this, knows anything about this, can tell me where to look? Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

Greetings,

We have some custom visualforce pages for custom objects.  These pages have the old "Notes and Attachments" object.  After Winter 2016 was rolled out, our users cannot add notes through this list anymore.  How do I expose the new notes along side the old notes and attachments?  All the documentation I could find said the new notes needs to be added to page layouts, which is straight forward enough, but no instruction on how to do this for visualforce pages.

Code for the old notes and attachments:

<apex:relatedList list="CombinedAttachments"  />

I've tried list="Notes", list="ChatterNotes", and a few others with no luck.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith
