I recommend using the "newer" (i guess old now :)) Content Type asset selector. This will let you make specific details pages for Word Docs and Powerpoint (word-doc.html and powerpoint.html). You can see the complete mapping list int he ContentTypeImpl.java linked below + screenshot.

The default AssetType asset details selector relies on the AEM API's mimetype to type mapping which a) has changed in the past which is not good for ASC and b) doesnt always make sense for how assets need to be displayed on a details page.

Once you have the desired mapping of type -> asset details page, you can add/configure a preview component (You can try using the Assets Details - Image) and configure it on the page to display the image asset rendition that you want to show on the details page (You have to make sure you are generating image renditions of course).

Hi @davidjgonzalez
Thank you for your suggestion. Selecting 'Content Type' as asset selector it works for .ppt and .pptx (Asset details page points to powerpoint.html). However for document, .doc works fine and navigates to word-doc.html but .docx does not seem to be working. The reason could be the incorrect mapping in ContentTypeImpl.java where the mimetype for .docx has an additional /.

@skumuda how embarrassing (for me :)) ... fixed it in 3.8.22 which is out now.

@davidjgonzalez Thank you. Its working now :)
However, I would need another suggestion of yours on below scenario:

1. Video which is DRM restricted does not load on asset details page - Is this the expected behavior? Because other videos which is not DRM restricted loads fine.

What rendition are you loading in the preview?

The DRM blocks the original since if you can load the video in the preview, then you can technically download it
