"While it's rather simple to use, the layout needs a bit of understanding. So when you select dual pane or columns mode, it looks like four windows. Each of the panes has two parts. The top part shows folders and drives only, while the bottom section displays files as well."

NOTE: "The Store version of OneCommander has some limitations compared to the standalone versions because it runs under some Microsoft Store constraints:
* Operations on files in AppData and some system folders is limited for Store apps
* Per-operation elevation is not permitted - ex: copying into a folder without access will show UAC prompt but will fail, so elevating the OneCommander itself is the only way (Ctrl+Shift+F12) but not recommended
* There might be additional security permissions limitations due to permission bugs in packaged apps (a few users have reported that opening Office files would fail with permissions error)
* Always one or two versions behind the standalone versions due to time it takes to pass Store certification and potential delay for managing critical updates"
