Work with items in the file view

When you work on a project with P4 One, you open the project's workspace folder.

• The left pane contains the timeline, which represents the lifecycle of the project and shows all versions you created in descending order. To learn more, see View the timeline.

• The right pane contains the files and folders in your workspace. This area is called the file view.

  

Thumbnails

Depending on the file type, a thumbnail preview of each file is displayed in the file view. Each thumbnail has icons to indicate the file type and the file status within the version. To learn more about the status icons, see Item status icons in the file view.

As you work on your project files in your workspace, files and folders are automatically updated in the file view. You can also perform other actions on items in the file view.
