1) The preview button only provides a preview of the first couple of seconds (you can set the number of seconds preview in Preferences)
2) You may need to adjust the settings of the effect for it to detect and remove the clicks.
3) Do not use Click Removal as a "global effect" - just select a fairly small area that contains the clicks that you wish to remove. If you apply apply the effect to a large area of music it will probably make false detections and remove bits of the music that it shouldn't.
4) It is often easier to just apply the effect and then use "Undo" (Ctrl+Z) if it's not right rather than using the preview feature. This will allow you to "see" as well as hear if there is any change.
5) The click removal effect works quite well on certain types of click, but it is not magic. Some types of click can not be removed with this tool. One example of a type of click that is notoriously difficult to remove are clicks caused by large scratches on CDs.
6) It may be possible to remove large clicks that cannot be removed with this tool by using the Repair tool. To use the repair tool, zoom in very close on the click and select the area that contains the click. The selection must be no more than 128 samples. Then select "Repair" from the effects menu.
