Understanding the Explorer view

The Explorer view is special among all of the Navigation views. It displays the documents and folders as they are actually organized in the vault, similar to Windows Explorer. When you create new documents and move existing documents, you do so relative to the Explorer folder view structure regardless of the current view or work area.

The other Navigation views represent logical folder structures based on other document property values. That is, the documents don’t actually reside in the folders shown in non-Explorer views; the folders are simply groupings of documents with the same property values. The Explorer view also works like Windows Explorer. The same actions you can take in Windows Explorer, like cut, copy, paste and drag and drop, also work in the Explorer view.

Note    Meridian security roles are applied at the folder level in the Explorer view. Thus, your ability to perform certain actions may be different in some folders as opposed to others.
