A .pdf document page can be rotated using the panel at the bottom of the preview area.
On the side panel, you can view information about the user who uploaded the file, its size and location, assign tasks, add checklists, or leave a comment in the associated activity stream. For Word files, the sidebar displays a list of document versions. You can compare .docx files with each other.
All the uses that are simultaneously working with the file are shown on the top panel. If the editing option is set up, the pencil icon will be displayed next to the user picture of the editor.
