The first thing you likely noticed about the Hub Library is that we have greatly enhanced the visual experience. These enhancements allow us to streamline the user experience, and to improve your quality of life in the Hub Library. Let's take a look at some of what we have added. To begin, you will notice that your documents are now displayed as cards.

Looking at the document box, you will notice up to five icons on the bottom row. The number of icons you see will depend on the document type and the permissions configured for that document or the user.

From left to right these buttons are: Preview, Share document, Download document, Document properties, and Comments. Let's take a closer look at each option:

  • Preview - allows you to preview the document and to download it if you choose
  • Share document - pulls up the document's URL so you can share it
  • Download document - allows user to download the document if the user has download permissions
  • Document properties - allows you to see metadata, download history, and past versions of the document
  • Comments - if you have comments enabled, they can be left by clicking this button

Note: You can view all comments on all folders in a file by clicking the Feeds button.

This will not change the way you interact with the user interface, so all the buttons will remain the same. It will only remove the boxes and present a list instead.
