Important: WinZip offers many convenient ways to work with archives. This tutorial approaches the topic using the main WinZip window and the tabs of the Ribbon interface as its base of operations. This is not the only way to access WinZip's convenient features. For example, you can use WinZip to zip and unzip files without leaving the Windows File Explorer.
