Show or hide Explorer pane tabs

By default, all of the Explorer pane tabs are visible when you display it.

To turn the tabs on/off, refer to the Preferences.

1. Click the Preferences icon on the Office ribbon.
   
   

2. Click the Explorer icon on the left pane.
   
   

3. Check/uncheck Search and Bookmarks under Select Which Tabs to Display.

An efficient way to work with the Explorer bar is to set it to Auto-hide.
