The Explorer window displays all open maps, tables, windows, commands and connections in one convenient place.

To open the Explorer window, on the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Explorer from the list. Like other MapInfo Pro windows, you can position it as a floating, docked, or tabbed window, and show, hide or auto-hide it.

To search for any open resource, type a search term in the Search box and click the Search button. All resources that match the search term are returned. To clear the search box, click the Clear Search button.

Use the Explorer window to manage layer visibility, selectability, editability, labeling, styling. See Working with Layers in the Explorer Window.

Each section of the Explorer window includes a context menu to reach commands specific to the contents. For example, in the Layers section, when you right-click on a map name, you can rename it, access the Map Options dialog box or change the label priorities. Right-click on a table name in the Tables section to change the table structure, update a column or add the table to the Catalog Browser.

To show or hide any of the sections, and to reset the height of each section, on the PRO tab, select Options, and click Explorer.
