. Click this icon to display a drop-down containing the available maintenance functions.

You can also apply the same maintenance option to several files/folders as the same time. Click Select All or Select All Files or use the Shift or Ctrl key commands to select multiple files/folders and then display the drop-down. The item you select from the drop-down is applied to all the selected folders/files.
- After you have selected an individual file (clicked the file name, not the icon for the drop-down on the main pane), the file information displays in the main pane. A preview of the file displays and the different maintenance options are represented by icons.
For example:

- You can also preview information about your file by clicking the
icon. Clicking this icon will bring up a menu that lets you choose your preview mode as well as how many lines you wish to view.

- When moving or copying a file, File Manager displays a destination dialog that lets you select a folder where you want the file to be moved or copied. The destination dialog includes controls to create a folder, filter files or folders by name, to select the number of file and folder entries displayed in the list, and to sort the file/folder list in ascending or descending order by name, file type, size, or last modified date.
You can also delete a file or folder by hovering the mouse over the file/folder entry in the list and clicking the trashcan icon that appears next to the file entry.
