=====Display Hidden Files=====
To view both hidden and non-hidden files and folders, you would select the '''View''' menu, and select '''"show hidden files"''' option.
=====Open Extra Pane for Transferring Files=====
This feature is useful for the user if they want to move or copy files without having to launch another Nautilus application.
=====Creating Folders=====
To create a folder, simple click on the '''File''' menu, and select '''"Create Folder"'''. An icon labelled ''"Untitled Folder"'' will appear to allow you to rename this newly-created folder. Simply '''type the desired folder name, and press ENTER'''.

====Concept of "Document-Centric"====
Sometimes there are documents that can be edited or used by several applications. For example, a graphic file can be both edited and viewed. '''If the user does not want the default application to launch and load in a document, they can right-click and select "Open with Other Application"'''. Then they simply select the application that will launch (in this single instance), and load in that document.
[[Image:files5.png|thumb|400px|The '''Trash-bin''' can be used to either restore files/folders that were mistakenly deleted, or the trash-bin can be "emptied" to signal to the operating system that this marked space can now be available for use (whenever required).]]
====Working With the Trash Bin====
To un-mount the USB device prior to removal, view the device in the left-hand side of the Nautilus application. '''Point and click on the eject button that is located immediately to the right of the USB name (label)'''. During this process, the user may encounter an error. This may occur since an application that has saved work to that USB storage device is still running, thus still is using the USB storage device. In that case, close the application, and then point and click on the eject button.
