I have not submitted my return yet. How do I see the actual 1040 form?

I followed TurboTax instructions to go to Tax Tools and then to Tools, but there is no link to Preview my 1040. How do I get to this form?

From the left sidebar

I did receive an answer to my question which worked.

However, Intuit needs to update their instructions online for how to view the 1040 form.

Here is what I was trying to use, but the instructions omitted to "View Tax Summary" before being able "Preview 1040" on the left.

Here is what is currently online:

Thank you
