Explore enables you to list and navigate repository contents; manage and control files and folders; and use elements, like the Open dialog box, that present the repository as a file management system. User’s roles and the installed Reporting and Analysis modules determine what parts of the user interface are shown — as a result some documents are displayed in the content area and others can also be opened in their own studios. For example, for Interactive Reporting, you can have it set to always open documents in the Interactive Reporting Web Client.
Access privileges or permissions determine which items you can view, modify, run and delete in the repository. See Setting Permissions and Pushing Artifacts.
