The Repository tab of the Browser displays the contents of the repository.
To expand all nodes, press the numpad plus sign (+). To collapse all nodes, press the numpad minus sign (-). To filter the Browser tree by branch (see Branching Version Trees), click the Customize Branch Filter tool and select the branches you want to view in the Branch Filter Selection dialog. The filter works simply by name, so that branch names that are reused in different folders are treated as the same. You can toggle the use of the filter with the Enable/Disable Branch Filter tool:
Note: You can only see repository objects if you have at least List permission on them (see Granting Access Permissions on Repository Items).
