There are a variety of different methods you can use to find your models. Here are a few of them:

On the Platform - xDesign | xShape

For Recently created files:

1. At the top of the page, click the 'Search' bar > type in filename
2. Click on the clock icon 'Show my content from the last 5 minutes'
3. Click 'Show my recent content'
4. Click the down arrow (chevron) next to the file name > click 'Open With' to see the list of apps in which to open the file

NOTE: if you click on 'More Apps', you can click on an app from the 'My Apps' section of Compass pane to choose to open the file in that app.

For previously created files:

1. At the top of the page, click the down arrow (chevron) on the right side of the 'Search' bar
2. Click on 'My Content'.This will show all of the content that you have created on the platform
3. Click the down arrow (chevron) next to the file name > click 'Open With' to see the list of apps in which to open the file

NOTE: if you click on 'More Apps', you can click on an app from the 'My Apps' section of Compass pane to choose to open the file in that app.

To use 6WTags to find and open a file in a specific app (xShape, xDesign):

1. Click on the desired app from the Compass, 'My Apps' list > Once the app widget opens, click 'Open'
2. The 6WTags pane should have expanded on the right and the '6WTags' icon should be highlighted light blue.  If you don't see the 6WTags pane, as shown in the image below, click on the '6WTags' icon to expand it.
3. If you click on any of the tags, it will filter the results that do not match that tag. As example,  if you know the file was saved to a specific collaborative space, you can click on that specific collaborative space tag, under 'Where' > 'Source' > ''. Similarly, if you know you're the file owner, under 'Who' > 'Persons' > click your username from the list to filter out files by other owners. 

In SOLIDWORKS Connected​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Search your files saved on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform using the 3DEXPERIENCE Open Dialogue Box in SOLIDWORKS Connected.
 

Here is the workflow video indicating how to switch from the standard 'Open' dialogue box to 'Open from 3DEXPERIENCE', finding your parts using the new 'Search' box and filtering them based on the '6W Tags'.
