Mini Information Pages
A mini information page opens when you hover over mini-thumbnail images displayed in tables, such as the Folder Contents and Search Results tables. From an object’s mini information page, you can:
• view and interact with a thumbnail image
• view object attributes
• complete actions
• view related information
Note the following behaviors regarding the mini information page:
• Once the window is open, the thumbnail in the window refreshes with new objects as you hover over other mini-thumbnails.
 |
This behavior is available when the thumbnail is unlocked. For more information, see the icon table below.
|
• Once the window is open, if you explicitly move it (for example to the left or right of its position), the window will remain in that position until it is closed.
• Resize the window or panes within the window to view as much or as little information as needed.
• Expand or collapse

If you have moved or interacted with the window, then click the “X” in the upper-right corner of the window to close it.
• If an object does not have a corresponding mini-thumbnail, the mini information page is still accessible. Hover over the placeholder image to open the window.
