Open a company file from the list or grid

Open a company file's details from list or grid view, read what the details show, download the file, and switch between the two layouts.

The Company Files page is where your employer shares documents with the whole company, like policies, handbooks and forms. It can show files as a list or as a grid of cards. In both, selecting a file opens its details, where you can download it. This article explains what the details show and how to switch between the two layouts.

Open a file's details

Select a file, in either view. Its details open in a panel beside the page (on a phone it fills the screen):

• At the top of the panel, the file's name. Below it, a preview of a PDF's first page or of a picture, or for other types a large icon with the file's type and size, for example "PDF document · 1.2 MB".
• Location: the folder the file is in.
• Added by: who uploaded the file.
• Updated: when the file was uploaded or last replaced with a newer version.
• Size: how large the file is.

Select Download to save the file to your device. To close the panel without downloading, use the close button in its top corner, or press Escape. Selecting another file shows that file's details in the same panel.

List view

List view shows a row per file, with these columns:

• Name: the file name, with an icon for its type. A New badge marks a file uploaded or replaced in the last 7 days.
• Added by: who uploaded it. This column only shows when the page is wide enough.
• Updated: when it was uploaded or last replaced.
• Size: how large it is.

Select a row to open the file's details. Each row also has a download button, so you can download a file without opening its details.

Grid view

Grid view shows each file as a card with an icon for its type and the file's name. The New badge shows on cards too. Select a card to open the file's details, then select Download.

Switch between list and grid view

The toggle at the top right of the file panel has two buttons, List view and Grid view. Select one to switch; the same files show in the new layout.

CLVR remembers your choice in this browser. The next time you open Company Files on the same device and browser, it opens in the view you last used. A different browser or device keeps its own choice.

Troubleshooting

• Selecting a file did not download it. Selecting a file opens its details. Select Download there, or use the download button on the row in list view.
• I see an icon, not the document. Only PDFs and PNG or JPG pictures are previewed. Download the file and open it on your device.
• I cannot see the Added by column. It only shows when the page is wide enough. Open the file's details to see Added by there.
• I cannot find the view toggle. It is at the top right of the file panel, next to Search all files.
• I cannot find a file. Type part of its name in Search all files. It searches every folder. If the file is still missing, your HR team may not have uploaded it yet.
