Tree View

Display hierarchical data structures

What it solves

A Tree View pattern helps teams create a reliable way to display nested relationships while still letting users expand, select, and navigate efficiently. It is most useful when teams need file and folder navigation. Compared with adjacent patterns, this pattern should reduce friction without hiding the state, rules, or recovery paths people need to keep moving.

When to use

• File and folder navigation
