Using the Project window's bin view


A Project window includes a bin view, which shows the bins that have been added to the project. The bin view appears on the left side of the Project window, and can be resized or hidden. When the bins in the bin view contain other bins, the hierarchical structure appears, much like the graphical view of folders and subfolders in your operating system.

A. Thumbnail viewer B. Bins C. Clip D. Find E. New Bin F. Create Item G. Delete Selected Items H. Resize Bin Area I. Icon View J. Thumbnail View K. List View L. Clip information M. Project window menu

To hide or display the bin view:

Choose Hide Bin Area or Show Bin Area from the Project window menu.

To resize the bin view:

Drag the Resize Bin Area button located at the bottom of the Project window until you have the size you want. You cannot make the bin view smaller than the four buttons below it. To make it bigger, you may need to first make the Project window bigger.

To add or delete a container in the bin view:

  • To delete one or more bins, select the bin and click the Delete Selected Items button () at the bottom of the Project window.
  • To add a bin, click the New Bin button () at the bottom of the Project window.

    • To display the contents of a bin in the bin view:

    Select the bin. If the bin contains other bins, click the triangle beside the bin icon to display them, and then select the bin you want to view.
