In the Folder Editor window, you can use these commands in the 3D representation of the folder structure, or in the folder structure tree.

    The icon to the left of the root folder is used to show that the object in the tree is not fully expanded (it is expanded such that the selected object is displayed). Click to fully expand the object in the tree. You can also customize general settings when Open.
