Work with the 'Manage' Tab in WinZip

The Manage tab of the WinZip Ribbon is evident as soon as you open WinZip, starting with version 26.0. If you have no files or folders selected when you click the Manage tab, all the buttons will be gray. When a file, a folder, or multiple items are selected, you will find appropriate buttons ready to be used (bottom half of picture). The features in this tab are listed by section and described below the picture.
