# Working with fast views

If you have converted the Navigator to a fast view it will appear in the shortcut bar as shown below.

To work with a fast view proceed as follows.

1. | In the shortcut bar click on the Navigator fast view button.
2. | Observe the Navigator view slides out from the shortcut bar.
3. | You can use the Navigator fast view as you would normally.
4. | To hide the fast view simply click off of it or click on the Minimize button on the fast view's toolbar Note: If you open a file from the Navigator fast view, the fast view will automatically hide itself to allow you to work with the file.

To convert a fast view that has been maximized back to a regular sized view, select Restore from the context menu of the icon in the top left corner of the view. To reposition a fast view, drag the fast view's title bar (or close the fast view and then drag its button from the shortcut bar) and drop it on the workbench like a normal view.
