# File Explorer The File Explorer allows you to manage a special type of document objects, called **File Objects**. A File Object is like any other document object under version control but also contains a file that is implicitly under version control. ![](/files/-MROrF87iRqMnN0RJmul) More specifically, if the file in a **File Object** is a Microsoft Word Document, it, in turn, can contain other document objects. You can consider File Objects as the Word Document view of your project. In this explorer, the menu works very similarly to the one in the Project Explorer. In the menu, there is the additional possibility to Save File To Disk (or to PDF) without having to open the individual Document Objects. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
