 # PluginPreviewMenuItem
 
-This is designed to be used alongside the PluginPreview.
+Adds a menu item to the "Preview" menu.
 
--   PluginPreviewMenuItem: Adds a menu item to the "Preview" menu.
--   PluginPreview: Renders the main content area when that menu item is chosen.
+It is designed to be used alongside the `PluginPreview` that renders a custom preview instead of the `VisualEditor` in the block editor.
 
-Each of these takes 2 props, `previewId`, and `children`.
+The presence of the `PluginPreview` component is not necessary.
+Selecting a preview will not replace the `VisualEditor` with a custom preview in such a case.
+Instead, a plugin author may rely on the `onClick` event handler entirely.
 
--   `previewId` - A string that serves as an internal identifier for your
-    preview. Must match across PluginPreviewMenuItem and PluginPreview.
--   `children` - What gets rendered in that spot.
+## Available Props
+
+-   **previewId** `string`: A string identifying the preview. When used, must match across `PluginPreviewMenuItem` and `PluginPreview`.
+-   **icon** `(string|Element)`: The [Dashicon](https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/) icon slug string, or an SVG WP element.
+-   **onClick** `Function`: Click handler, e.g. for previews that do not register slot fills.
 
 ## Example
 
 ```js
 import { registerPlugin } from '@wordpress/plugins';
 import { PluginPreview, PluginPreviewMenuItem } from '@wordpress/block-editor';
-import { Fragment } from '@wordpress/element';
+import { external } from '@wordpress/icons';
 
 const PluginPreviewTest = () => (
-	<Fragment>
+	<>
 		<PluginPreviewMenuItem previewId="preview-custom-1">
-			Custom Preview 1 Menu Text
+			Custom preview 1
 		</PluginPreviewMenuItem>
 		<PluginPreview previewId="preview-custom-1">
 			<div>
-				<h4>Custom Preview 1 Content</h4>
+				<h1>Custom Preview 1 Content</h1>
+			</div>
+		</PluginPreview>
+
+		<PluginPreviewMenuItem
+			previewId="preview-custom-2"
+			onClick={ ( event ) => console.log( event ) }

+			Custom preview 2
