The file view is a child window that shows a tree-style display of files in several different panes ("Project," "Open," "Explorer," and "Lists"). You can toggle the file view in the Layout tab.
The Project pane of the file view displays all files and folders in the active Project with the project name listed at the top. If no project is currently opened, this pane will be empty. Much of the functionality in this pane is accessed via the context menu.
