Tip: The panels in the Explorer are resizable, and they can be dragged around. Also, it is possible to navigate through the trees in the Explorer with the mouse pointer, arrow keys, or by typing the first character of the required folder/file.

The Explorer is automatically updated immediately after changes made to files and/or folders, but a manual refresh of the Explorer is sometimes necessary, for example after re-enabling columns. To refresh the Explorer, select View > Refresh Explorer or press <F5>.
