=====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).]]
