What you see at the top
At the top of the Media page you have:
Title: "Media".
Header actions (right):
View toggle: Switch between Grid and List. The active view is highlighted. Your choice is saved so it's restored next time.
Upload: Opens the file picker. Selected files are uploaded; if a folder is selected in the sidebar, uploads go into that folder.
WP mode: Opens the default WordPress upload screen (#/wp/upload.php) so you can use plugins or workflows that only work there.
One place to switch view, upload, or fall back to WordPress when needed.

In practice
Smart Media Manager — media page header, view toggle, Upload, WP mode. On this page, What you see at the top is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. Because what you see at the top is part of Smart Media Manager — folders, filters, bulk operations, and a fast grid for the media library — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
