The navigation area is divided up into two windows: A folder structure in the left and a detail view in the right window.

This is where you will find the folder structure defined by your administrator. If you participate in more than one project, you can expand or collapse a project structure with “+“ and “-“ next to the project name. If you click a folder a new tab in the detail pane with all files will appear. If you click a structural folder (folder without content), nothing new will appear in the detail view. This is just for better overview. If you right click a folder, you can add the whole content to the lightbox.

The detail-view area on the right shows you files in several tabs. You can easily change between these tabs, move them or close them. If not all files in a folder fit in one page, you can navigate through the content pages with the arrows in the lower right corner. If you think there could be something new, reload the view with the reload button. Multiple selection with shift or ctrl button are possible as well.
