Using the Tree From the Side Pane

The Tree view is one of the most useful features of the side pane. It displays a hierarchical representation of the file system and provides a convenient way to browse and to navigate the file system. To display the Tree in the side pane, choose Tree from the drop-down list at the top of the side pane.

In the Tree view, open folders are represented by arrows facing downwards. The following table describes the tasks you can perform with the Tree.
