Once you’ve signed in, you’ll see all documents and [projects](/docs/getting-started/folders/) in your Workspace. If you have multiple Workspaces associated with your Sketch account, tap on the Workspace icon in the top-right corner to switch between them.

To open a document, tap on its thumbnail. Larger documents may take a moment to open while they download. To cancel opening a document, tap the thumbnail again.

In the Workspace view, you’ll see some or all of the following rows of document thumbnails:

- **From My Mac** if you’re currently editing a document from the same Workspace on your Mac
- **All Documents**
- **Shared with Me** if anyone has shared a document directly with you
- **My Drafts** if you have saved any drafts

You can scroll through these thumbnails horizontally, or tap **See All** to view the documents as a grid.

Scroll below the horizontal document rows to see any folders you’ve created in your Workspace. Tap on a folder’s name to view all the documents it contains.

If a folder you’re viewing has any nested folders, tap on them to view the documents inside. Tap **Back** to return to the folder view or the Workspace view.

Scroll slightly upward to find the search bar at the top of the screen, to help you find documents in a folder. Search results are filtered based on the view you’re currently browsing in. For example, if you’re viewing a specific folder, searching here will only give you results from that folder.

> **Note:** If you lose your internet connection, you’ll see a row of documents you’ve previously downloaded — you can still open and browse these offline.
