Explore your workspace#

Learn how you can use the Explore workspaces tab to display and interact with your files.

The Explore workspaces tab displays the files that you have loaded in your workspace. After you configure your workspace, all of your loaded items have a Controlled status, which means that they are under version control.

Show details#

To hide or display the details view, select Show details. When you select a file, this panel displays a preview or icon of the file, the file details, and the file history.

Manual and Automatic modes#

Gluon has two modes, depending on whether you specify files within the parent folder or select the complete parent folder.

If you select some of the files in a folder, Gluon identifies the folder as in manual mode. If you select the whole folder, Gluon identifies the folder as in automatic mode.

• If a folder is in manual mode, when someone else adds new files to the folder, Gluon doesn’t automatically download the new files to your workspace when you update the workspace.
• If a folder is in automatic mode, when someone else adds new files or directories, Gluon automatically downloads those files into your workspace when you update your workspace.

File search#

In the Explore workspace tab, you can search through all of the files in your workspace. In the Configuration window, you can also search through files in the repository that you haven’t downloaded to your workspace.

In either the Explore workspace tab or the Configure window, select Search files. In the Explore workspace search, select Include private to get results for files you haven’t added to source control.

To search through files, you can use patterns. For example, * matches any number of characters and ? matches any single character.

Edit files through search#

You can directly run the following operations from the search results. When you right-click a file in the search results, you have the following options:

• Check in
• Checkout
• Lock and checkout
• Undo checkout
• Undo changes
• Update
• Open
• Open with
• Open in explorer
