2. If you know the document title, e.g., 'Cost estimation manual', filter using the 'Full title' column.
3. If you know the name of document owner/creator only, filter using the 'Document contact/ owner' column.
4. Alternatively, if you do not know specific details, use the 'Find' tool within Excel. You can search on any words or numbers this way.
5. Once you have found what you are looking for, go through the document link or copy and paste it into a new internet browser window to access the file.
