That's possible to show document from particular folder in Document Library and connect File Viewer Web part with it. Instead of 1/3-2/3 column, I would suggest to use Vertical Section for documents and one column layout for file preview for bigger file preview.

Let's say you have document library where you want to show document from Test Folder

Go the your page and add one column layout section and one vertical section

Add Document Library web part in Vertical Section and Set Folder property by relative path of your folder from which you want to show documents

Now add File Viewer web part and connect it to document library web part

Now save your page and you will get your desired output. Select any document from Document Library web part and preview will be generated for that document on left side

Hope it will helpful to you and if so then Please mark my response as Best Response & Like to help others in this community

Thanks for this, I am trying to achieve the same end result but instead of selecting documents from a library to preview, I would like to click on Document Sets in a library and preview specific Content Types in the set. Can you offer any advice please?
