Q: Time Machine (El Capitan) select individual files
For the first time since upgrading to El Capitan, I just tried to go into Time Machine to locate a specific file, but all I get is the desktop for the date in question and it won't let me open the Documents folder (or any folder) and get to individual files. Has something changed that I need to know to allow me to find and possibly restore just a single file or folder? I do not want to restore my entire system!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Mail problem

Read this Apple Knowledge base article on restoring from a Time Machine backup. Scroll down to the section on restoring a single file.
