Tile View

Instead of the default List view, you can use the View switch stages-project-docs-tile-view_BUTTON.png to change the display to Tile view. The thumbnails make it easier to find specific items.

File details

Use Details toggle details_button.png to expand the File details side panel. Then to see the details of the file, Left click the file from the File list - this will additionally highlight the selected file to let you know it has been selected. 

In this view, additionally to the regular information located in the file list, we now have a direct link to the element(s), the selected file is used in. In this example case it is a note in the Stage 1. If we press the Arrow button on the element tile, we will be moved to the Matterport view with said note opened.

You can upload external files directly in this view, to use them later in the project.
