Files View (middle pane)
This view displays all files and folders in the selected item, their statuses and properties.
File name: Displays names and paths for files/folders in the selected item.
Status: Shows the current status of file/folder. Files with different statuses are shown with different colors. There can be the following file statuses:
Identical: Original files and their backup copies are identical, i.e. the file in the source folder is identical to the corresponding file in the destination folder.
Different: The file in the source folder is different from the corresponding file in the destination folder. This means that, after the last operation, either the file in the source folder or the file in the destination folder has been changed.
Missed in destination: The file exists in the source folder but does not exist in the destination folder.
Missed on local: There is no file in the source folder corresponding to the file in the destination folder. The possible reason is that the file has been removed from the source folder. To restore such file, use restore operation. Select a file with a mouse pointer and press "Restore" button either from Actions menu or from the Files View context menu.
Excluded: File was excluded by user from the list of files to be processed and the program ignores it.
You can perform inclusion/exclusion of files through Files View context menu. Right-click on the file and use Include files/Exclude files command from the menu.
Original size: Shows the size of file in the source folder.
Stored size: Shows the size of corresponding file in the destination folder.
Original time: Shows the last time when file in the source folder has been modified.
Stored time: Shows the last time when file in the destination folder has been modified.
You can perform operations (backup, restore, synchronization) with selected files through Files View context menu.
All files in a new item are displayed in Files View with "Unknown" status. To see their actual statuses, press the "Refresh" button  . Also use this button to update the list of files in this view.
Log View (lower pane)
This view shows all events occurred during backup, restore and synchronization. The pane displays log messages related only to the selected item, for example:
Different colors denote different types of log messages as defined in Log Settings. If you wish you can customize fonts and colors for all kinds of log events with the help of the "Colors..." button  from the Context menu.
