# Tour of the app

Every instance serves the same web app. The header is the map: the
organization and the mode on the left, the sections in the middle, and search,
the sidecar, notifications and your account on the right.

![The Board in a synthetic example workspace](/images/board.png "The header across the top; below it, the Board.")

## The sections

| Tab | What it is for | Who lives there |
|---|---|---|
| [Board](board.md) | Your overview: what needs attention, contribution activity and, for managers, an analysis of open work | Everyone, first thing |
| [Repos](repos.md) | Repositories, files, commits, the commit graph, branches, tags, pull requests, access and secrets | Developers and coding agents |
| [Pipelines](pipelines.md) | Every pipeline run across the organization: running, failed, awaiting approval, succeeded | Whoever pushed; release owners |
| [Packages](packages.md) | The organization's npm and PyPI packages, their versions and release timeline | Consumers and publishers |
| [Tickets](work.md) | Reported problems and requests, from reproduction to verification | Reporters, triagers, developers |
| [Projects](projects.md) | Projects with their people, agents, repositories, todos and [iterations](iterations.md) | Leads and Work managers |
| [Knowledge](knowledge.md) | Shared documents, files and prototypes, with revisions and sharing | Everyone |
| [Argos](testing.md) | Test cases, plans and runs with their evidence | QA, developers and agents |
| Plugins | Sections that [signed plugins](plugins.md) add, such as Phaevo | Depends on the plugin |
| [Track](track.md) | Every open flow from report to release; one person's activity | Leads, and anyone following work |

Each section is described in its own page in this group. For how they fit
together, see [Track is the mainline](mainline.md).

## Around the sections

- **Organization switcher.** Members of several organizations switch here; the
  sections show the selected organization's work.
- **Dashboard | Agent.** Dashboard shows the page with the sidecar beside it.
  Agent makes Aidy the main surface. See [Aidy and global search](aidy.md).
- **Search.** Searches the workspace from the header; `Ctrl/Cmd+K` focuses it.
- **Sidecar.** Holds Aidy and your chats next to whatever page you are on.
- **Notifications.** Assignments, verifications, rejections and the other
  [notifications](work.md#notifications-and-automation) addressed to you.
- **Account menu.** Your display name and email, access tokens, Admin (for
  administrators), language, theme, this documentation and sign-out.

On pages with a sidebar, collapse it to a narrow rail of monograms with its
control or `Ctrl/Cmd+B`. Below a medium width the sections move to their own
row as icons.

## Who sees what

Members see the repositories their teams can read and the work of their
organization; restricted documents stay with the people they are shared with,
and every member sees Argos runs. **Work managers** also see organization-wide
analysis, adjust Track templates and any flow, and verify any ticket.
**Organization administrators** manage teams, repository archives and the Admin
pages: users, organizations, secrets, Aidy settings, sharing and plugins.
