+The **Document List**[↗](#remembered-settings "Remembered Setting") toggle will display the Document List panel, which lists all the open documents and allows easily switching between them. (Prior to v8.1.3, the panel was known as the **Doc Switcher** panel and controlled through the [General preferences](../preferences/#general), but that name was confused with the Document Switcher `Ctrl+TAB` settings in [MISC preferences](../preferences/#misc).) The Document List can be sorted by Name (or Extension or Path, if those columns are shown) by left-clicking on the header. To view the extension separately from the filename, right click on the header and choose the **Ext.** entry in the dropdown menu (as of v8.1.5; prior to that, it was in the [General settings](../preferences/#general)). To view the path in Document List panel, right click on the header and choose the **Path** entry in the dropdown menu (new to v8.1.5). As of v8.5, when you add [color to a tab](../other-resources/#tab-bar-right-click-menu), the color will also be applied to the entry in the Document List; and conversely, the right-click menu in the Document List is the same menu as the normal [tab bar right-click menu](../other-resources/#tab-bar-right-click-menu), so it will allow you to add color to the tab from that panel as well. The Document List has collapsible separators for each of the views (new to v8.5): if there is just one visible View, then there will be a single horizontal bar with a `︿` arrow, and clicking that `︿` arrow or double-clicking the horizontal line will collapse (hide) the list of files, and subsequently clicking the `﹀` arrow or double-clicking the horizontal line will uncollapse (show) the list again; if there are two visible views, then the Panel will have two collapsible separator bars, one for each View, which work in the same manner to show or hide the list of files for each view separately. If you right-click on the Document List panel's header row, you can toggle the ✔ checkmark on **Group by View** to disable and enable this option (which is on by default); if it's disabled, the files for both visible Views will be shown in a single list with no separator bar. Finally, aside from the right-click menu's options for closing files using the Document List panel, if you middle-click on a file's entry in the Document List, it will also close that file's tab and remove it from the Document List panel (new to v8.5).
