As with most other sections of the Dashboard, this view is set out in table form, listing; The Document Name, A Link to the Document, Document Category, Date Created, Date Uploaded, Number of Views, Number of Downloads, followed by the standard View

buttons, however this one also has a fourth button, as you can see from the screenshot to the left which has two states, the Green play button, and the Red stop button, for controlling whether you wish to add a particular document to the feature list in the articles view, on the front end, of which there is a screenshot below.
This page also has a Filter
button to allow you to search for specific documents, useful if you have previously uploaded a large volume of documents!
