What is "Preview" in "Insert" menu? I haven't found "preview" in the
docs.
I would suggest to refer to the manual (Help --> User manual: it's ready
to compile), section A.4.27. Preview. It says that Preview "Inserts a
preview inset as described in section 6.12."
Section 6.12: Previewing Snippets of your Document
Very useful to control "sections of your document on the fly so you
can see how they will look in the final document without having to break
your train of thought with viewing the output".
Also: What is ERT?
LyX uses LaTeX as its formatting engine -- even if it is an independent
project, from some point of view it may be regarded as a GUI (graphical
user interface) for LaTeX. Not all the packages and features of LaTeX
are supported by LyX: in these cases entering LaTeX code "manually" is
still necessary. The ERT (Insert TeX code) window is designed to enter
directly LaTeX code. For example, if you want to add an unnumbered
sectioning command (say a chapter) to your Table of Contents, you can
open a ERT windows and type the LaTeX code for this
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}
