Repair / Drawers tab

Show all hidden content
You may need to repair your Drawer list if you notice that the Drawer list in the
Folders
window does not show all of the drawers in which you have stored data, that the list still displays drawers that contain information you deleted from FileCabinet CS, or that Drawer Families are no longer visible. When you perform this action, FileCabinet CS compares its Drawer list to the files stored in the designated drive location, and rebuilds the Drawer list accordingly.
To open this dialog, choose
