-    Starting with GNOME 3.6, we've taken the <app>Nautilus</app> application and
-    evolved this into <app>Files</app>. In brief, we now provide a simple
-    application focussed on the following items:
+    The Files application has been a major focus for work in the 3.6 cycle. The newest 
+    release includes many new features and a large number of bug fixes, resulting in a

-     The initial view of the application should present to the users the things 
-     they can take immediate action on. Things that are likely relevant to what 
-     they are doing or what they have been doing recently. Something that serves 
-     a reminding function for things that they have yet to do. Something that 
-     helps them establish context. Something that doesn't require them to do 
-     additional work or navigation every single time it starts.

-     One way to achieve this is by displaying a list of recently created,

+     A new location containing recently used files has been added. This provides 
+     convenient access to files that are likely to be relevant. It is also serves 
+     a reminding function for things, ensuring that they stay on your radar. The new

+    <p>
+     A number of common workflows have been improved with the new version of Files. 
+     These enable users to take actions based on context, and aims to make common 
+     actions simple and straightforward. A new workflow has been added for copying and 
+     moving files, and offers a nice alternative to copy and past and drag and drop.

-     <app>Files</app> presents to the user all the actions relevant to the 
-     context. Rather than require to proactively create the conditions needed 
-     for an action, users only have to select the desired action available in 
-     every situation.
+     Another addition that makes a common action that little bit easier is the <gui>New 
+     Folder with Selection</gui> context action. This makes a common action - selecting some 
+     files and putting them in a new folder - more immediate and less laborious.

-      only have to select the files that you want to organize and select the <gui>New
