I'm not familiar with that program. So I can't guess what you need.
What is it that you either want to see or don't want to see, that you don't already see on the canvas? Inkscape has View menu > Display Mode, where there are options for viewing everything except filters, or Outline Mode which only shows the raw paths (no fill colors or filters or etc).
If you're using Inkscape to creating cutting files, then Outline Mode probably functions like a preview.
If you just need to see the image which is zoomed to fit the window, there's a button for that on the Zoom tool control bar. Or I guess you could export a PNG, and look at it with an image viewer on your system.
If you're using Inkscape to make icons, there's View menu > Icon Preview, which shows you the image at various common icon sizes.
Beyond those things, I don't think Inkscape has what you need.
