A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to:

• select, from a content item stored for a user account within a content management system, a set of content item segments to include within a preview for the content item;
• generate a preview tile for the content item by generating a set of hotspot frames to reflect digital content within the set of content item segments;
• provide the preview tile for display on a client device associated with the user account;
• and
• based on an input location relative to the preview tile, determine a hotspot frame from the set of hotspot frames to provide for display within the preview tile.
