  2. Click Explore from the sidebar.

    Explore is the default tab and allows you to work with your files and folders in SkyVault. Choose which sites and content you wish to see. You can see the full repository in this view, or limit the view to certain sites only (All Sites, My Sites or Favorites). You can also choose to view all content, or only your favourite files or folders.

  3. Drag and drop files into the repository. A number of options are available, depending on your configuration settings.

    The options available to you are shown in the right-click context menu. For example, if you have selected a Microsoft Office file, you can edit this online in addition to other standard options. See Configuring extended settings in Outlook for more information on configuration settings.
