# Workspace tour

Five minutes, one pass down the left-hand sidebar. Some entries may be missing from
yours: the sidebar shows only what your roles and your plan allow, so a shorter menu is
normal rather than a sign that something is wrong.

## Home

The dashboard. It opens on a prompt box asking what you would like to create, which is the
fastest way into most of the app: describe a post, an image or a task, and the app
routes you to the right place with the work already started.

Below it are your recent chats, recent media, and anything currently running.

## AI Chat

Conversation with your agents, and where most people spend most of their time. An agent
can search your library, read your knowledge bases, run tools, and produce a design or a
document in the canvas beside the conversation.

**Spaces** group related chats, share a system prompt and let teammates in.

See [AI Chat](/guide/ai/chat).

## Workspace

The section header that separates the AI from the material it works on.

### Media

Your library.

| | |
|---|---|
| **Library** | Everything, searchable. |
| **Albums** | Collections you have organized by hand, and smart albums that fill themselves. |
| **People** | Faces the system has recognized, grouped by person. |
| **Upload** | Drag and drop, or import from Dropbox or Google Drive. |
| **Share Links** | Public links you have handed out, and what has been viewed. |
| **Publications** | Every asset with a permanent public address, and what governs it. |
| **Social Posts** | Everything sent or scheduled to your social accounts. |

See [the media library](/guide/media/overview).

### Studio

Where things get made: **Designs**, **AI Images**, **Infographics**,
**Presentations** and **Website Content**.

See [Studio](/guide/studio/overview).

### Documents

The document library: data sheets, contracts, manuals and anything else that is read
rather than looked at, kept in **Folders** and searchable by what the documents say.
Documents can be linked to each other, a translation to its source or a revision to the
one it replaces, with the relationship types your workspace defines under
**Relationships**. The AI can answer from them. Present only when your plan includes the
module.

### Knowledge

The facts your AI answers from, kept as knowledge bases: **About**, **Documents**,
and whatever else your workspace has been set up with.

See [knowledge bases](/guide/ai/knowledge-bases).

### Objects

A catalog of structured records, one entry per type your workspace defines, such as
products or venues. Present only when your plan includes the module.

### Brand Identity

Logos, colors and fonts, plus the written guidelines: **Brand Foundation**,
**Messaging Guidelines** and **Visual Identity Guidelines**. Everything generated is
held to what is here.

See [brand identity](/guide/studio/brand-identity).

## Administration

Pinned to the bottom, and visible only if you hold an administrative role. It is a hub
of cards rather than a single screen, grouped as:

- **User Management**: users and roles
- **AI Configuration**: agents, tools, chat widgets, voice agents, workflows and scheduled jobs
- **Knowledge Management**: knowledge bases, knowledge templates, object settings and external data
- **Media Configuration**: distribution control, delivery, flags, media tags, media analysis, hashtags, media statuses and social connections
- **Audit & Monitoring**: history, the access log, security activity, share links and duplicates
- **Billing & Usage**: usage, storage and billing
- **System Configuration**: wildcards

See [administration](/guide/admin/overview).

## The header

| | |
|---|---|
| **Search** | Searches the media library from anywhere in the app. To jump to a screen instead, use the search at the top of the sidebar (**⌘K** / **Ctrl K**). |
| **Credits** | Appears when the workspace is running low, with a link to top up. Shown to people whose roles include usage. |
| **Notifications** | The bell. New leads, finished calls, completed jobs. |
| **Your name** | Account Settings, Logout, and the workspace switcher. |

## Two conventions to learn early

**"Who can use this."** Designs, infographics, chats, agents and knowledge bases all
carry the same access control, and it always looks the same: a list of people and roles,
with **View & use**, **Edit** or **Full access**. Leave the list empty and the item is
unrestricted: full access for everyone in the workspace, bounded only by their roles.
See [sharing and access](/guide/admin/sharing-and-access).

**Credits.** Anything that calls AI (an analysis, a generated image, a chat reply)
spends credits from the workspace pool. The app warns before they run out. See
[usage and credits](/guide/admin/usage-and-credits).
