I recently moved to After Effects CC 2018(version 15.0.1), and what I noticed was that I can't configure the preview settings. You can see in my screenshot that there are no options I can configure in the preview panel, unlike the second picture from the user guide(https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/previewing.html). Anybody could tell me if it was removed, or hidden elsewhere? I googled for a while for this subject but couldn't find any, so couldn't help but ask here..

It is not gone. Probably, you have stacked panels active. This happens when you have selected the "Default" workspace. Go to Window > Workspace > Standard. Then, you will have unstacked panels and you can change the size of the window to access to all the options of the Preview panel.

Whaddaya mean?
You're looking at the Preview pane AND the Character pane AND the paragraph pane is one shot, and just the preview pane in the other!

Well the other panes are not important here. My point is that you cannot see any preview related options(cache before playback, range, etc..) in the preview panel in my screenshot(the first one) while you can see those in the second(from the user guide).

So theres difference between stacked and unstacked panel, and stacked panels do not show full options, huh? I jumped into 2018 from CS6 so I'm not familiar with this new UI style..
Just Checked on my PC and found your solution works! Now the UI looks familiar
Thanks a lot!
