I'm looking for a suitable translation of "pre-read" in German but maybe it's another term that remains in English?
I've searched online and there seem to be various types of pre-reads but the equivalent I am looking for is in the context of meetings as in the examples here-below:
https://fellow.app/blog/meetings/why-you-need-to-send-a-meet...
See how pre-reads can empower attendees to collaborate, take action, and be productive before, during, and after meetings.

Here’s how it usually goes. You receive an email with the subject line “pre-read for tomorrow’s meeting.” Attached is a bulky PowerPoint presentation with no explanation or specific request.

Man spricht im Deutschen von Pre-Reading Activities oder Prä-Leseaktivitäten, aber damit sind Aktivitäten gemeint, die auf die Lektüre eines Textes vorbereiten. In den obigen Beispielen geht es dagegen um eine Lektüre, die auf einen Kurs vorbereitet.

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Regina. I did come across this one. Let's see if there are any further suggestions from mother-tongue persons. So it's not the case that the English term is used? |

: Ohne Bindestrich: 'Vorablektüre'. Es geht dabei um die Schaffung einer einheitlichen Wissensgrundlage für die spätere Erörterung des eigentlichen Themas. 'Vorbereitende Lektüre' passt auch.

Entweder liest man es oder überfliegt es nur, um das Wesentliche zu erfassen. Für eine Muttersprachlerin.

You cannot "vorab" lesen. Either you read or you do not. "Vorab lesen" means that you read a text before a meeting, in order to discuss it. Precisely like in your exemple sentences. It is like pregnant women, either they are pregnant or they are not. There is no state to "vorab". Why do you ask if you do not believe the answer?

| Obwohl, ich glaube es ist eher "Vorablektuere" |

: Ich kann dem (spärlichen) hier kein 'Überfliegen' oder 'Skimming' entnehmen. Es geht um das Lesen von Informationen VOR dem eigentlichen Meeting. Diese müssen nicht deckungsgleich mit den im Meeting besprochenen sein, sind aber relevant.
