The Manage Files page has several tools. Noted below, the page has two columns. On the left, the File Tree column shows the basic folder/file structure of your course. You can hide the file tree by selecting "Hide Tree" if you need to focus on a folder you're examining in the right column.

The right column provides you with details on your files and changes as you select a folder in the File Tree. There is a row of five file management tools located above both columns. In addition to "Hide Tree," you can create a new file, create a new folder, paste, or upload.
