Save and reuse views

A saved view is a named presentation configuration for a folder. It can retain a view mode, sorting, filtering, grouping, item size, column arrangement, collapsed groups, and view-specific options. Switching saved views restores those choices without changing the files in the folder.

Use these articles to manage the complete saved-view lifecycle:

• Create and switch saved views to capture the current presentation and move among named configurations.
• Update or reset a saved view to keep deliberate changes or return to the stored configuration.
• Rename, customize, duplicate, or delete a saved view to manage a view’s identity and lifecycle.
• Add a saved view to subfolders to copy a configuration into separate ordinary-folder scopes.
• Use saved views throughout a Workspace Folder to share one set of definitions across a folder tree.

Saved views preserve configurations you have already built. Use Configure a file view for live view controls. A saved search preserves a search, while a Layout preserves the complete center arrangement.
