Open and Save As Dialog Boxes

Open and Save As dialog boxes display all folders that you have the necessary permissions to view. Within the folders, only objects relevant to the page and that you have the necessary permissions to view are displayed. You can move, delete, and display information about folders and other objects.

Note: The folder in which in which an object is saved, in which an object is opened, in which a folder is created, or in which a search is performed is the folder that is selected in the navigation tree and shown in the breadcrumbs along the top of the dialog box. This is true regardless of which folder is selected in the object list in the middle pane.

Tip: In a Save As dialog box, you can create a subfolder within the selected folder by clicking the Add Folder button.
