Document Folder Pane

The contents of the document library are presented as a structured hierarchy where documents are organized within a tree of libraries that contain any number of folders and sub-folders.

A user only sees the folders and sub-folders that contain documents to which the user has access. Clicking a folder or sub-folder name displays the list of all documents in the folder or sub-folder and all its sub-folders.

When a user puts focus on the lowest level folder, the number of documents is shown in brackets:

Archive shows the folder and sub-folder structure of archived documents. It is only available to users with the Library Administrator authority profile.

Permissions

Permissions control whether a user has access to the document library. Generally, all users are granted access. Access to individual documents can be granted or refused on a user basis. The Library Reader authority profile provides reader access to the library.

Locating a Document

To display all the documents within and beneath a folder, click the folder name in the Document Folder pane area. Only those documents to which the user has access are shown.
