As you can see in the example, in the dataset preview you can see the dataset columns highlighted with different colors depending on the data type. Same data type columns will share the same color.

For every column you will be able to read the column name and the column type inside the column header. At the bottom a pagination will appear if needed.

For some specific dataset the export bar will also be available. If the selected dataset supports this functionality a bar will appear at the top of the dialog. Clicking the buttons inside you will be able to download the preview in the selected format.
