Change the View of the Finder Window

You can change how the items inside any window are displayed. Experiment with the three different views and you'll decide for yourself how you like to work. You might prefer one view for certain things and a different view for others—with the click of a button, you can switch from one to the other.

  • To change views, single-click one of the three little view buttons.

From left to right, the view buttons display icons, a list, or columns.
