# Workspace View Modes

The workspace shows files in a folder that is open in the folder area.
Files are displayed in thumbnail view, list view, or grid view.

## Thumbnail view

The following files are displayed in reduced images in thumbnail view.

- DocuWorks file
- PDF file
- Image file (Bitmap, JPEG, and TIFF)
- Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint document

You can stack/unstack documents such as DocuWorks files and PDF files.
DocuWorks Desk setting is required to display the files other than DocuWorks ones in thumbnail view.
To display Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint documents, the setting in the applications to display reduced icons is required in addition to the above. For details, refer to the help of the Office application.
Thumbnails are displayed in the size corresponding to the paper size of the file. If it is too large, however, the paper size is displayed in the lower left corner.
You can change the zoom ratio of thumbnails using the slider bar on the bottom of the workspace.
You can enlarge the thumbnail while placing the cursor at the thumbnail of the DocuWorks files and pressing the <Ctrl>+<Shift> keys, and confirm the contents without opening them. Right-click the mouse to display the next page, left-click the mouse to display the previous page while enlarging the thumbnails.
Note

- In the following cases, you cannot stack or unstack even the DocuWorks or PDF documents.

- Protected or signed DocuWorks documents

- As for PDF documents, the following restrictions apply:

- PDF files on which hidden attributes or securities are set cannot be displayed in thumbnails but with icons.
- If you stack or unstack PDF documents that have been optimized for Fast Web View, the documents are no longer optimized for Fast Web View.
- If processing takes more than an hour, processing is timed out and canceled.

- Some thumbnail image may not be acquired for the image files or PDF files which can be displayed in thumbnail view with other than DocuWorks files. If you select a thumbnail of the image files or PDF files, and select [Reacquire thumbnail image] in the pop-up menu, you can acquire the newest thumbnail image.
