If you select a document on the documents page or in a library a new window will appear for that document. You will always see the latest revision when opening a document.

The document page can look something like this:

  1. The document banner spans across the top of the document page

  2. You will find the document header below the document banner and above the document preview.

  3. Below the document header you will find the document preview.

  4. To the left of the document header and preview you will find the document list

  5. This article: To the right of the document header and preview you will find the right information menu.

When you first open a document, its right menu might be closed.

You can click on the information button on the bottom right of the document banner to expand this menu.
