Use the Content View page to view the contents of an item selected in the tree in the Connections pane. For example, select a site and click Content View to see the list of any applications, virtual directories, physical directories, and files in that site.
You can right-click an object in the Content list, and click Switch to Features View to go to the object's home page. From the Home page, you can configure features for the object, such as configuring authentication settings for an application.

Note |
|
IIS Manager does not display files in the tree in the Connections pane. To configure features for individual files, you must right-click the file in Content View and then click Switch to Features View. |
Sort the list by clicking one of the feature page column headings or select a value from the Group by drop-down list to group similar items. Search the list by typing search criteria in the Filter box, expand the Go list to select the field on which to search, and then click Go or press ENTER. Click Show All to remove the filter criteria.
