Hi Machak,  
is it compulsory to configure each page to enable preview option or is there any other way to enable preview option without configure each page.

Thanks & regards,

Your document needs to be rendered, and to do so, you need to map it to a FTL or JSP template. otherwise there is no way to figure out how /where it should be rendered.

So, yes, you need to configure sitemap item to be able to preview it. see:
