## Tabs

The tabs at the top of MailConnect are set up by your organisation. Common ones:

| Tab | Shows |
|-----|-------|
| A list, for example **Projects** | One location per project, customer or case. Select one to see its libraries and folders. |
| A library | Its top-level folders, and any files at the top of the library. |
| **Followed Sites** | The SharePoint sites you follow. Follow a site in SharePoint to have it here. |
| **Sites** (reading mail), **Organization** (writing mail) | Search across SharePoint. |

With only one tab, there's no row of tabs. The tabs can differ between reading
and writing mail.

## Moving around

![A library folder open in MailConnect: the back arrow and the path at the top, Folders with its add button, and Files with a file’s ⋯ menu open (See details, Rename, Delete)](https://getmailconnect.com/docs/using-mailconnect/browsing/browsing-folder.png)

Select a location, then a library and a folder. The arrow at the top and the path
under it take you back up. **Open in SharePoint**, in the **⋯** menu at the top,
opens where you are in SharePoint.

## Searching

The search box under the tabs searches the tab you're in: a list's locations, by
their name and the columns your organisation chose, or your followed sites. Inside
a library, it searches the library's folders and files.

The search tab searches all of SharePoint you have access to:

- **When reading mail** (**Sites**), it shows sites straight away, and searches them as you type.
- **When writing mail** (**Organization**), it shows files, libraries and sites, and searches them as you type. Choose **All**, **Sites** or **Files**, and tick files to [attach](https://getmailconnect.com/docs/using-mailconnect/attaching.md) them straight from the results.

## Previewing files

Select the preview button on a file to see it without downloading it. It opens in
a larger window over Outlook, or in a browser tab if you've switched on
**Open file preview in new tab** in [your settings](https://getmailconnect.com/docs/using-mailconnect/your-settings.md).

**See details**, on a file, shows its name, who created and last changed it and
when, and its size. Your organisation can turn previews off.

## Folders and files

When you read mail, you can also change folders and files:

| To | Do this |
|----|---------|
| Create a folder | Select the add button next to **Folders**, type a name, and select **Create**. |
| Rename or delete a folder | Open **⋯** on the folder: **Rename** or **Delete**. |
| Rename or delete a file | Open **⋯** on the file (or right-click it): **Rename** or **Delete**. |

MailConnect asks you to confirm before it deletes anything. You can only change
what your SharePoint permissions allow, and your organisation can turn each of
these off.
