You can build and manage a folder structure for all of your content on the Components tab. In the folder and browser panes you can organize your content and access options to help you manage a large amount of content. The Components tab gives you access to all of your content in one location.
From the components browser you can see details about a component, such as when it was created and by whom. You can also find out if it contains references to other components, or if this component is referenced by other components, projects, branches, or translations.
You can also take actions on components in the Components tab. When you right-click on a component, you have access to a rich set of options.
The options you can select from the right-click menu are different when working in a project.
Open the Options menu in a project Content pane.
Now you can find the option you need quicker in the Components browser and project component lists by using the re-designed menu.
Right-click to see
the Options menu:

- Details... Find out more information about a component, such as who created it, References, Where used, Projects, Branches, Translations, Properties and snapshot History.
- Edit... Open a component to edit the content in the Oxygen editor.
- Edit Structure... Opens the component in Oxygen without referenced content resolved. This lets you see large files in Oxygen before the 5 minute loading timeout.
- View... Open a component as read-only in the Oxygen editor.
- Save — Select from a group of different Save options. (See the grouped Save options below.)
- Reports — Select from a group of different types of reports. (See the grouped Report options below.)
- Export... Download a copy of content stored in Inspire as a way to back up important content or to move it to another application that Inspire doesn't communicate with.
- Publish... Select a transformation configuration provided by Inspire or use your own plug-in to transform DITA content into formats such as PDF and HTML output.
- Translate... Select the source and target languages and specify how you want to export the files.
- Review... Evaluate content by getting feedback from multiple authors and contributors.
- Approve — Let other Inspire users know that a component is finished and ready to publish or translate by giving it an approved state.
- Unapprove — Let other Inspire users know that a component is in draft form.
- Approve referenced components. Approve a few or all referenced components at the same time.
- Actions — Select from a group of component management options including approving, renaming, moving, and six others. (See the grouped Action options below.)
- Advanced — Select from a group of options to manage component references, relationships, and permissions. (See the grouped Advanced options below.)

- Save as... Save an existing component as a new component and add it to a specific folder. All references in the original component are also contained in the new copy.
- Save as a copy... Choose which references in the original component are also contained in the new copy.
- Save as a branch... Choose which references are included and maintain relationships with the copy.
- Save as a snapshot... Create a copy of a file at a specific moment in time to back up data at different intervals so you can recover information.

- Approval report — Generate a report that tells you the component's Name, State, the last time it was updated, and by whom. You can also see either the signed date or know if a signature wasn't required.
- Branch report — Generate a report on the relationships a component has when the branch was created.
- Completeness report... Open the Check Component Completeness screen to generate a report that checks for the filtering of conditional text, approval state, electronic signatures, lock state, an invalid state, invalid XML, and whether there are comments or track changes in the component.
- Map asset report — Generate a report to see all of the components referenced in a map, including topics, images, and other maps.
- Publish activity report— Generate a report to see who has published a map, how often, how long it took to create the map's deliverables, and if it was successful or had issues. You can select one or more maps or bookmaps.

An Administrator can see the following additional option:

|
|
 |
- Referenced components... From a source component, quickly select other components that are referenced without opening the source component and manually finding all the references.
- Relationships... View component relationships and perform actions to browse for new relationships, auto-repair one relationship or all relationships, or save a CSV report of component relationships.
- Transform Component... Open a screen to select an XSLT file in Inspire. If you have the same data that can be used in different formats, this option lets you quickly change a component's XML structure.
- Permissions... Give other users or roles permissions to read, create, update, delete, or rename components.
