How do I browse project files in VS Code?

Click 'Documents' under Knowledge in the GitScrum sidebar. Panel shows breadcrumb navigation and file listing. Click folders to navigate into them, breadcrumbs to go up. Toggle Grid/List views.

What file details are shown?

Each file shows: filename with extension, MIME type/format, size (human-readable), uploader (team member), upload date. List view shows these as table columns for easy comparison.

How do I download files?

Click a file to access its download link. File opens in default browser or downloads directly depending on editor and OS configuration. Reference design mockups or specs while coding.

Can I upload files from VS Code?

No. Documents panel is read-only browser. File uploads, folder creation, rename, move, delete are handled in GitScrum web application at studio.gitscrum.com.

How do I find specific files quickly?

Use search field at top of panel to filter files and folders by name. Results update in real-time. For large folders, use List view for detailed table format with size, type, and date columns.

Documents

Browse and download project files directly from your code editor. Navigate folder hierarchies, view file details, and access documents without switching to a browser.

The Problem This Solves

Project files — design mockups, specifications, contracts, assets — live in the project management tool. When you need to reference a design while coding or check a specification, you switch to a browser tab, navigate to the right folder, find the file, and switch back.

GitScrum Studio puts the document browser inside an editor panel. Access project files alongside your code in the same window.

What You Are Looking At

Click Documents under the Knowledge section in the sidebar tree. The panel opens with a file browser interface.

The top of the panel shows breadcrumb navigation displaying your current location in the folder hierarchy:

Project Files / Design / Wireframes

Click any breadcrumb segment to navigate up the hierarchy. Click a folder in the listing to navigate into it.

File Listing

Files and folders display in the main content area. Two view modes are available:

Grid View: Files appear as visual cards with icons representing their file type. Ideal for browsing design assets or mixed content.

List View: Files appear in a detailed table format with columns for name, size, type, and date. Ideal for large folders with many files.

Toggle between views using the view switcher in the panel header.

File Details

Each file entry shows:

Property	Description
Filename	Name of the file with extension
Type	MIME type or file format
Size	File size in human-readable format
Uploader	Team member who uploaded the file
Date	When the file was uploaded

Downloading Files

Click a file to access its download link. The file opens in your default browser or downloads directly, depending on your editor and OS configuration.

Search

Use the search field at the top of the panel to filter files and folders by name. Results update in real-time as you type, making it easy to find specific documents in large project repositories.

View-Only Access

The Documents panel in the VS Code extension is a read-only browser. File uploads, folder creation, and file management (rename, move, delete) are handled through the GitScrum web application.

To upload files or manage the folder structure, open the project in the GitScrum web application at studio.gitscrum.com.

Pro Tips (Once You Are Comfortable)

Split view with code. Open the Documents panel alongside your code to reference design mockups or specifications while implementing.

Use list view for large folders. The detailed table format makes it easier to find files by size, type, or date.

Use search to jump directly. If you know the filename, type it in search instead of navigating folder by folder.

Permissions

The extension respects your GitScrum account permissions:

Agency Owners and Managers: Full access to view and download all project files
Developers: Can view and download files in assigned projects
Clients: Can view and download files (if granted project access)

How to Report a Problem or Request a Feature

If files do not load, downloads fail, or folders appear empty when they should have content, open a support ticket in the GitScrum web application. Navigate to Support Tickets in the sidebar and describe the issue. Include the extension version and editor details.
