If your documents fail to display in <app>Documents</app>, <app>Tracker</app> may not be running or properly configured. Make sure Tracker is running in your session. The default configuration, set to index files in your home directory (non-recursively) and XDG folders (recursively), should be adequate. Ensure that your documents are in one of these paths.

You can restrict or filter the search results by clicking the <media type="image" src="figures/go-down.png">down</media> button and selecting various <link xref="documents-filter">filters</link>.

The local copy of a document downloaded from <em>Google Docs</em> or <em>SkyDrive</em> will lose its ability to be updated online. If you want to continue to edit it online, it is better not to download it.

From <app>Documents</app> selection mode you can open, print, view or make collections of your documents. To use selection mode:

When you open <app>Documents</app>, a preview thumbnail is displayed for documents that are stored locally. Those stored on a remote server like <em>Google Docs</em> or <em>SkyDrive</em> show as missing (or blank) preview thumbnails.

<app>Documents</app> lets you put together documents of different types in one place called a <em>collection</em>. If you have documents that are related, you can group them to make them easier to find. For example, if you had a business trip where you made a presentation, your slides, your flight itinerary (a PDF file), your budget spreadsheet, and other hybrid PDF/ODF documents, can be grouped in one collection.

In GNOME we ship several profiles for testing that make it very clear when the profiles are being applied:

<em>FakeBRG</em>: This will not change the screen, but will swap around the RGB channels to become BGR. This will make all the colors gradients look mostly correct, and there won't be much difference on the whole screen, but images will look very different in applications that support color management.

To restore your backup from a device such as an external hard drive, USB drive or another computer on the network, you can <link xref="files-copy">copy the files</link> back to your computer.

Some of these options have sufficient capacity to allow for a backup of every file on your system, which is also known as a <em>complete system backup</em>.
