What do you mean by "preview?" Are you asking for a list of the upgradable packages in the -security pocket? Or are you asking for something else? Ubuntu is not designed to pick-and-choose among upgrades - doing so can cause all kinds of problems for non-experts. Generally, we recommend Unattended Upgrades to most users, which avoids precisely this question.

As you can tell from the man page, apt upgrade is all or nothing (for good reasons). It doesn't allow you to cherry pick which package to upgrade. However, there is a way to upgrade selectively. But it's too much to fit into comments comfortably. Why don't you ask a new question "How do I selectively upgrade packages?" and I will answer it there.

And before you go, accept this answer since I believe it already answered your original question, and ideally also upvote it, and more ideally also get your friends to upvote it ;) Right now I am in this ridiculous situation where I can't even leave a comment, and people think I am just like other newbies who come and go taking what they want leaving nothing in return, and some may even take one step further to assume I don't know what I am talking about -- making it much less fun to contribute here.
