Browsing files in the File List pane
The File List pane is the large pane in the center of the Browser. The File List pane displays the contents
of the currently selected folder, the results of your latest search, or the files and folders that match
your selective browsing criteria. The File List pane is always visible, and cannot be hidden or closed.
Files display as thumbnails in the File List pane by default. However, you can change the File List pane
view mode from thumbnails to details, list, icons, tiles, or filmstrip. You can sort your files according to
name, size, image properties, and more. You can also use filters to control which files display in the File
List pane.

selected classifications, as in the following example:
