# Virtual File System
## Purpose
Virtual File System exposes files stored in YaCy's virtual storage.
Use it to inspect or manage stored file-like content.
## What You Can Do Here
- Virtual File System exposes files stored in YaCy's virtual storage.
- Edit or inspect the specific content object shown on the page.
- Check whether the result is local-only, user-visible, or peer-visible before publishing.
## Page Architecture
Content application pages store and render peer-local objects such as bookmarks, messages, tables, profiles, or translations. They combine form editing with a rendered view of the stored object.
## Correct Use
Edit content deliberately and check the rendered page after saving. For shared or peer-visible features, assume written content may be read by someone else unless the page clearly says otherwise.
## Access And Safety
The page is normally public or read-only, unless the peer is configured to require authentication for all pages.
## Automation And API
Page backend: `source/net/yacy/htroot/VFS.java`.
No request parameters are needed for normal use of this page.
## What To Expect
Expect stored or rendered content: a message, page, table row, bookmark, profile, translation, or file view. After changes, reload or revisit the object to confirm what was actually saved.
## Related Pages
- Related content work usually continues on the matching bookmark, message, table, translation, vocabulary, or file page.
