Filter and display information in the Online files list

There are various ways to display the most relevant online businesses and details for what you're working on. You can display a client details panel, and apply filter and column preferences to the Online files list. If you leave the page for any reason, your filter and column preferences will remain applied when you return, letting you quickly get back to what you were doing.

While you filter and sort your files, some new files may be created or upgraded. Any new listings will appear where they belong according to the current sorting/filtering. Any updated listings will remain where they are but with updated content. If you can't see new files, try changing your current filters.
