Documents Document Views and Graph

Document Views and Graph

The Documents workspace has All files, Recent, Starred, Shared with me, and Trash smart views. In the browse area, Files shows documents as cards or rows; Visualize opens a graph of folders and documents.

Browse files

  1. Open the team’s Documents page.
  2. Choose a smart view in the left rail: All files, Recent, Starred, Shared with me, or Trash.
  3. In Files, use the grid/list buttons to change the layout. Use the details button to show or hide the selected item’s details.
  4. Open a folder or document from its card or row. Use the breadcrumb to return to a parent folder or All files.

Recent, Starred, Shared with me, and Trash are flat document lists; they do not show the folder tree. Trash contains archived documents and provides restore and permanent-delete actions.

Explore the graph

  1. In the Documents browse toolbar, select Visualize.
  2. Search by node name in Search nodes. Press Enter to apply immediately; clear the field or press Escape to reset.
  3. Choose All, Folders, or Docs to filter visible node types.
  4. Use the expand control to reveal a document’s heading nodes, or collapse to return to the folder/document overview.
  5. Select a folder node to navigate into that folder. Select a document node to expand or collapse its heading nodes.
  6. Toggle content-based connections with the link icon. Select Files to return to card/list browsing.

Visualize tab in the Documents browse toolbar

Folder/document edges represent the folder hierarchy. Expanded heading nodes are attached to their document. Dashed content-based connections are calculated from text similarity and are exploratory hints, not saved links or an authoritative relationship between documents. The graph currently limits these connections to the highest-scoring matches.

The selected view is remembered in this browser. On narrow screens, pan or scroll the graph canvas; graph nodes retain a minimum canvas width for readability.
