Navigating SharePoint Sites and Libraries

Before you can start to navigate in the sidebar, you need to add a SharePoint site, as described in the help topic Adding and editing SharePoint sites. Then, you need to open the Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator sidebar panel, as explained in Launching Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator.

The drop-down list in the sidebar panel lets you quickly switch between all SharePoint sites that are configured in your preferences. Subsites (if configured to be shown), document libraries, folders, and documents are listed in the document list, the main area of the sidebar. Double-click a subsite, document library, or folder to navigate to it and view its contents. When applicable, the topmost entry is displayed as “..” and links to the parent location when double-clicked.

SharePoint Integrator complies with the permission levels defined by the SharePoint administrator and will allow you to view documents depending on your logged in user's permissions.

The sidebar tracks a list of recently visited locations, allowing you to easily navigate back and forth between them. To learn more, read Using the navigation history.

The status pane at the bottom of the sidebar panel shows you the breadcrumbs (parent elements) of the current location. Right-clicking any of the elements in the breadcrumbs opens the context menu from where you can select Open in Browser or Copy Link. The star to the left indicates if the location is marked as a favorite. More information on handling favorites is available in the help topic Adding favorite locations.
