The /sidebar/ utilizes faceted browsing to filter the resources in your Library. \\ Some of the [[columns  available in /Details/ view >> # Available Columns in the detailed view]] cannot be filtered here, but they can be [[filtered from the Find box >> # Search Fields that you can use in the Find box]].

 

*Note*: you will usually want to know about the resources that are on your computer, so you should first filter by *Devices* > *This Device* if you have anything listed for *Not on This Device*.
