The console provides two different details pages for files it manages:

File Details
For each unique file discovered on computers running the Carbon Black App Control Agent, you can open a File Details page that provides global information about the file and allows you to modify various global parameters for the file. The File Details page presents complete information for unique files listed in the File Catalog table.
File Instance Details
For each instance of a file discovered on a computer running the Carbon Black App Control Agent, you can open a File Instance Details page that provides information specific to that instance in addition to some of the global information seen on the File Details page. It also allows you to modify both instance and global attributes of the file. The File Instance Details page presents complete information for instances of files listed in the Files on Computers table.

The following sections describe the file details pages, including tables of menu commands on these pages. More detailed descriptions of activities you can perform on these pages are provided elsewhere in this guide, especially in Approving and Banning Software
