A condensed version of the Navigate sidebar found in DEVONthink's main windows, this provides access to the contents of any shared databases. Some basic contextual menu items, e.g., New Group, New Feed, Rename, and Move to Trash, are available when Control-clicking in the sidebar.

Move files by dragging from the item list over a group in the sidebar to file them in a new location. Holding the ⌘ Command key allows you to copy the file instead of move it.

If you hover over a section in the sidebar, you can hide the Globals or Shared Databases section. Also, you'll notice this interface has been built in a responsive manner. This causes the sidebar to disappear when the browser window becomes to narrow for it be effective. You can still use toolbar buttons to toggle the visibility, as needed.

The item list, like it's DEVONthink counterpart (Read more...), shows items in the current location. Items can be selected and reorganized by drag-and-drop, to the sidebar or groups in the same location. Above the item list is the path bath with active links to parent locations. Click on them to quickly jump back to a parent location. To navigate back and forth through locations you've visited, use the and buttons in the path bar.

Again, taking its example from DEVONthink's main window, Control-click items in the item list to show these commands in the contextual menu:

While you can't reorder the items manually, the item list can be sorted by clicking on the column headers. Click the header again to toggle between an ascending or descending sort. Control-click the headers to enable and disable individual headers.

When an item is selected in the item list, a preview of any compatible file will be shown here. Many non-proprietary text-based formats commonly can be displayed. Plain and rich text, Markdown, JPEG or PNG files, PDF, etc. are easily searchable and viewable. There is also support for editing plain and rich text, formatted notes, and Markdown documents directly in this pane. Just click in the preview and begin editing.

Navigation bar: The navigation bar above the pane varies what it displays, based on the type of file it's displaying. If an item has a URL, it will be active and displayed here. The bar also allows you to move back and forth through previously viewed files via the and buttons.

Of special note are the behavior of formatted notes. They are displayed with a handy toolbar providing some editing options, like adding bold or italic type. You can also select text and create a hyperlink with it. Lastly, you can choose an image to insert into the document.

For the Markdown fans, you will see the same navigation bar options, showing Edit, Preview, and Side-by-Side modes.

Info: A simplified view of the Info Inspector pane found in a main window. Shown by clicking the right-most toolbar button or choosing the Get Info command from the Action button, this shows basic metadata about the item selected in the item listing. If you have permissions to make changes to the current database, it is possible to change some of the metadata, like ratings or labels.

See Also: The second view of the inspector shows the See Also pane. This gives you some suggestions about other documents that may be related to to the currently selected item. Clicking on an item in the results will display that document in the view/edit pane.

There are a handful of toolbar tools in the web sharing interface. Note a few items will be discussed separately.
