1. File Editing Toolbar - displayed at the top of the window are basic File Editing buttons to manage and organise files stored in the Media folders.  You can add external files stored on the computers folders to media folders using the Add Files button, and you can open files using the default application for the type of file using the Open button.

 

2. Media Folders - displayed in the Tree view to the left of the screen are the media folders for the current  user. The software only displays Media folders with types of files which can be selected as attachments for emails.
