# Using Library & Document Tab Layouts Vault offers four different layout options in the Library tab and any custom document type tabs: [Detail View][1], [Thumbnail View][2], [Compact View][3], and [Grid View][4]. Use the layout selector to switch between views. Once you've selected a layout option, Vault remembers it until you select a different layout. Library Layout Switcher For each layout option, Vault displays a count in the upper-right corner of documents matching your selected filters. When there are more than 5,000 documents, Vault displays an estimated count, for example, **about 6025**. Document count ## Detail View {#detail} **Detail View** lists documents in rows. Each row shows a thumbnail of the document and important document fields. Detail View ## Thumbnail View {#tile} **Thumbnail View** organizes documents into columns and rows. Each tile shows the document thumbnail and important document fields. Thumbnail View ## Compact View {#compact} **Compact View** (default option) organizes documents into rows and displays a small thumbnail. Compact View ## Grid View {#tabular} **Grid View** functions like a spreadsheet. You can rearrange or resize columns, add custom columns, sort by column values, and export your document metadata. Grid View [1]: #detail [2]: #tile [3]: #compact [4]: #tabular
