For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

The "Thumbnails" mode will display each file as a "box". For images, a small preview of it (called thumbnail) will be displayed inside the box. For other files, an icon will be available instead.
