- Main Navigation Bar: We have added a main navigation bar to the interface that is located at the far left of the interface, the nav bar has Browse view and Search view. Future development will add more features to this main nav bar
- Metadata Search: Now you will be able to search through the files and folders of your grid using metadata names and values as the parameters of your search, after you issue a metadata search, it will be stored on your left side nav as a recent query collection
