I had hard time finding this option. To get a tree view on your project, you'll have to go in File Status, and change the filtering options to All Files and the presentation to Tree View.

It's kind of non intuitive & not user friendly to switch from a pending changes view ( Pending Files + List View + Split View Staging ) to a project exploration view ( All Files + Tree View + No staging )

This seems fixed, but when Iam at the Working Copy, no commits left, no files appear there. I show All files and anything comes up. What's going on?

Thank you kindly, IT has now installed the older and better version for me.  It won't read repositories in my home volume, but works once I copy to C:—a small price to pay for basic functionality.  

Don't hold your breath Flash we've been asking for this back for just over 4 years now. I'm still using ver. 1.7.0.32509 and so are probably most other people here.

Agreed, need this feature back asap! Tools > Options > General still has the “option” to turn it on and off, but doesn’t work.

please have this issue in the next release ... Thanks

I can't believe you call this fixed!?!? The new tree view is a piece of garbage. I've reverted to an old version, AGAIN, to get back the functionality that is vital to how I use SourceTree. While I wait for a real fix for this problem I'll be researching for a new Git GUI. I couldn't find a reliable location for downloading 1.7 so I had to install from an old download of 1.6 and use the in-product updates to upgrade to 1.7.0.32509 which seems to be the last version available that contained a truly functional tree view.
