The viewer pane displays buttons in a toolbar that you can use to view documents in various ways and inspect them. Depending on your security permissions, you may also be able to draft print or redline documents. Regardless of what you do in the viewer pane, it will not change the document. All viewer actions are either temporary or are saved elsewhere.
To install a viewer, see Install Third-Party Viewers. To use a different viewer for a particular file format, see Change Viewers.
