Customizing the layout

By default, the files and folders attached to Jira issues use a regular header and appear in the collapsed view to use less space on the screen. It’s easy to preview the file by clicking the arrow to open the expanded view, which uses the width of the page and is 464px 400 px tall.

The Admin can set different defaults, and you can customize individual issues.
