Understanding the navigation pane
The Project Portal navigation pane is shown in the following figure. Workspace folders are organized in a hierarchical tree structure that consists of a root folder and subfolders. Each workspace can have multiple root folders and they can contain multiple subfolders. The detail pane is always synchronized with the navigation pane. The parent folder location in the tree browser is always displayed. Also, the folder tree is dynamically calculated and updated as folders or documents are created or imported.
The following table describes the features of the navigation pane and refers to other topics that describe the features in more detail.
