# Browsing Using the List View

By default, the main view area displays the contents of the current library or reel as clip thumbnails. The list view presents an alternative view, presenting clips in table format, with sortable, repositionable columns.

The list view allows you to locate or compare clips based on clip metadata, such as name, tape name, and duration.

When used in conjunction with the Selection menu Expand Children command, you can list all the clips in all ‘subdirectories’, as well as the library structure, of any network object — host, volume, project, library or reel — in one click.
