+ <title>View and open files from the side panel</title>
+ <p>
+ The most common way to switch between files in <app>gedit</app> is by using
+ the tabs at the top of the <app>gedit</app> window. In some cases, though,
+ particularly when you are working with a large number of open files, you
+ may find it easier to use the side panel.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ To activate the side panel, select <guiseq><gui>View</gui>
+ <gui>Side Panel</gui></guiseq>, or just press the <key>F9</key> key.
+ </p>
+
+ <note style="note">
+ <p>
+ You can toggle the side panel open or closed by pressing
+ <key>F9</key> at any time.

+ <title>Opening files from the side panel</title>
+ <p>
+ To open files from the side panel, first open the
+ side panel by selecting <guiseq><gui>View</gui>
+ <gui>Side Panel</gui></guiseq> (or just press
+ <key>F9</key>), and then choose <gui>File Browser</gui> from the dropdown
+ at the top of the panel.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This will activate the <em>File Browser</em> mode of the
+ side panel. You can then use the navigation buttons at the top
+ of the panel to locate and open your desired files.

+ <title>Using the side panel to switch between open files</title>
+ <p>
+ Once you have several files open, you can use the side panel to switch
+ between open files. To list open files, choose <gui>Documents</gui>
+ from the dropdown at the top of the panel.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Clicking on any file name in the side panel will open that file
+ for editing.
