Content Browser

Content Browser lets you manage repository content like files and folders. Navigate the hierarchy, create, upload and move files, control versions, and review permissions and metadata — all from here.

Opening it

Open Content Browser from the menu. You can open several windows at once to work on different locations side by side.

Layout

  • Navigation bar (top) — back / forward / go to parent, breadcrumb, copy path, recent locations
  • Sidebar (left, toggleable) — Filter, Favorites, Smart Folders, Search
  • List (center) — items in the current folder; sort by Name, Date modified, Modified by, Lock owner, Version, Kind and Size
  • Inspector (right, toggle with Ctrl+I) — properties, permissions (ACL) and version history of the selected item

Key tasks

Navigate

Click breadcrumb segments or type a path to move. Use the back / forward arrows, or right-click the Back button for history. Pin frequently used locations as Favorites.

Create & upload

  • New Folder — enter a name and create
  • New File — choose a file type (Text, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, XML, Markdown, CSV, YAML, BPMN, EIP route) and create
  • Upload Files / Folder — bring content in from your computer. You can also drag & drop from Explorer or Finder onto the list. If a name already exists, choose to skip or overwrite

Manage versions

  1. Enable version control on a file
  2. Check out to edit it
  3. Check in to create a new version (use Checkpoint to keep an interim snapshot)

The version history is shown in the Inspector.

Search & smart folders

From the sidebar you can run full-text search or schema-based condition search. Combine conditions on strings, numeric ranges, booleans and date ranges, then save the result as a Smart Folder to re-run the same search anytime.

Permissions & locks

Use the permissions (ACL) view in the Inspector to review and edit per-item access. To prevent editing conflicts, you can lock a file for exclusive use.

Tips

  • Ctrl+I toggles the Inspector.
  • Click a column header to sort; use the filter box to narrow items by name.
