-    <li>Node that displays a live preview of images while allowing them to pass through to other nodes in the workflow.</li>
-    <li>Can be connected to multiple samplers sequentially to show progressive updates as the workflow advances through different stages (base sampling, refining, hi-res fix, detailing, etc.).</li>
-    <li>Useful for placing preview displays outside of subgraphs or in custom locations within complex workflows.</li>
-    <li>Simply connect the IMAGE output from any sampler or image processing node to this node's input, and connect its output to continue the workflow.</li>
