It is ok but not optimal, that the preview appears at a rather different position than the control to switch it on/off: Preview left, checkbox right

Not sure, about this - let other practicioners decide. Assume it to be useful, and the menu seems to be a decent way to deliver these functions. It would need a indicator though that the user can understand (like options? actions? or just hamburger icon?)

Apart from the activate at different position than the function it activates, I like it much! Thanks!
