Card Format, Preview, & File Type Icons
The library format utilizes an interactive card design to provide a way to browse library files. Users have the ability to see the details of a resource without opening a new page and there have been improvements on the preview experience for PDFs, images, videos and other file types. Click on the file preview to view the file in a full-screen mode or if it is a video file you can click the square brackets icon ( [  ] ) next to the volume icon to launch the full-screen video. You will also see icons that indicate if the file is a PDF, Word Document, Video, etc.

In order to have more room on your screen, you can click on the X in the folder view to close that panel to give you more space to read the file's preview information.
