- View: open the content item.
- Go to Item Location: go to the item's location in the Content Explorer.
Recent
This is your top 40 most recently opened content items. Like favorites, to open an item, click on it. Alternatively, right click or open the item's context menu, and select one of the following:
- View: open the content item.
- Go to Item Location: go to the item's location in the Content Explorer.
