Alternatively, you can undock the Library palette and display content in the Item List panel.

When the Item List is open, a hierarchical tree appears in the left side of the library. When you select a folder in the tree, its content appears either in a list with a preview thumbnail for each item, or in a multi-column display of thumbnails that adjusts to fill the width of your library window as shown below.

List view displays content as a list (left), or as a grid of thumbnails (right).

The section describes how you can customize the appearance of the Library palette to suit your needs.
