Reach document actions on a narrow screen

Scroll the table locally to see View, Download, and Details and history.

Updated 2026-11-11

The document register has several columns and keeps them in a horizontally scrollable table on narrow screens. Scroll within the table to reach the Actions column without changing the selected document.

Use View to open the file, Download to request a copy, and Details and history to inspect metadata and earlier versions. Check the filename before acting when the table is scrolled far to the right.

You can reduce the number of rows with Search documents or the service and status filters before navigating the table. If a filename is shortened, Details and history shows its full title in the side panel.

Horizontal table movement is different from a missing permission or a loading failure. If controls are genuinely unavailable, inspect the page’s current message and company context. Avoid tapping several rows while a file is opening; wait for the action to finish. A download places a private copy on the device, so choose a device and storage location appropriate for the document’s sensitivity.
