+The landing page of the RDMS Web interface contains three main sections: the navigation menu, the directory browser, and the content area. Hover over the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_question_button.png?direct&20|}} button in the menu bar to view the menu items available to you. Select a menu icon to open the corresponding browser and content page. By default, the Web interface opens the "Data Browser" for all users (see the figure above).
-The landing page of the RDMS web portal consists of three main sections; the Menu, browser and the content of the selected menu item. By hovering over the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_question_button.png?direct&20|}} button on the Menu bar you will see all the menu items that are available for you. You can navigate through various Menu items of the web portal, such as ''Data browser'', ''Search'' or ''Metadata Template Settings''. By default, the landing page of the Web portal will look like is shown in the figure above for all users; meaning that the content of the ''Data browser'' will be present. Note that, depending on your role as a user you might not see all the Menu items shown in the figure below.
+The green box in the figure above marks the directory browser. It provides quick access to your files and folders in the RDMS. Use the {{:rdms:webapp:reveal.png?direct&20|}} and {{:rdms:webapp:hide.png?direct&20|}} buttons in the menu bar to show or hide the directory browser. Depending on your permissions, you may not see entries under "Projects" and "Team Drives". For information about gaining access to these environments, see [[..:solution:team|RDMS Team Drives]] and [[..:solution:projects|RDMS Projects and Archives]].
-{{ :rdms:webapp:menu.png?direct&300 | }}
+The content area to the right of the directory browser displays the contents of the selected RDMS location. For example, when you select "My folder", it displays the contents of your personal home folder. Use the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_info_button.png?direct&20|}} button to show or hide additional information and options.
-If the ''Data browser'' is selected, the browser section will be a directory browser (see figure at the start of this page). There, you will find an overview of the different environments (if you have necessary permission as a user) such as ''Projects'', ''Team drives'' or ''My folder'' that can be used for easy navigation. The directory browser can be revealed or hidden by using the {{:rdms:webapp:reveal.png?direct&20|}} and {{:rdms:webapp:hide.png?direct&20|}} buttons, respectively.
+You can use the information panel to:
-Next to the directory browser, you will find the area that shows the content of the currently selected drive. For example, if you select ''My folder'', you will see the current files and folders under that location.  Or, if you select the ''Search'' item from the Menu, then you will see the [[rdms:webapp:search|search]] window.
+  * View general information about the selected files and folders.
+  * View and edit associated [[..:metadata:metadatawebportal|metadata]].
+  * View the current [[..:data:permissions|permissions]].
+  * [[..:data:sharing|Share data]] with other RDMS users.
-In the ''Data browser'', you will also be able to reveal another window to the right side of the interface. This window can be used to see general information about the selected file, information about the permissions, and information about sharing option. This view is not always shown and it can be revealed only by selecting the {{:rdms:webapp:interface_info_button.png?direct&20|}} button from the interface.
+The button highlighted in the figure below displays information about the current folder. The button next to a file or folder displays information about that specific item.
