Just as you can change how you view files and folders in Windows Explorer, you can change the view for items in a package. The four views for packages are Large Icons, Small Icons, List, and Details. The Large Icons view is the default. The Large Icons, Small Icons, and List views display only the names of the package items. To see additional properties for each item in the package, such as file size, file type, and date modified, use the Details View. 

If you split the work area using the horizontal or vertical layout, you can choose a separate view for the package in each pane of the layout.

By default, the package items in a view are arranged alphabetically by the Name property. If you view the package items in the Details View, which displays the properties for each item, you can use the column headings to rearrange the items by sorting the view on the different properties. The other views, which do not contain column headings, can be arranged by the Name, Type, and Date Modified properties.

Note: The icon representing each file in the package views is the standard Windows icon for the associated file type.

To change the package view:

1. Open a package.
    
2. Right-click in a blank area in the Package Editor window.
    
3. Point to View and choose a view.
