# Getting around

> The sidebar, the command palette, reference chips, and how to reach Activity, which has no sidebar entry.

Nine destinations sit in the sidebar and everything else is a keystroke away. One page, Activity, has
no sidebar entry at all.

## The sidebar

The workspace switcher sits at the top, showing the current workspace with your organisation
underneath. Below it are three quick actions. **Home**, **Search** (which opens the command
palette), and your notification **Inbox**.

The main list follows, in this order.

* <Icon icon="bot" /> **Agents.** Agents that watch your sources and write up what they find.
* <Icon icon="trophy" /> **Goals.** The objectives you're working toward.
* <Icon icon="zap" /> **Insights.** The scored findings drawn from your evidence.
* <Icon icon="square-check" /> **Actions.** Suggested and in-progress next steps.
* <Icon icon="file-text" /> **Briefs.** PRDs and decision briefs.

Three more are pinned to the bottom.

* <Icon icon="folder" /> **Knowledge.** Documents, folders and version history.
* <Icon icon="layout-grid" /> **Integrations.** The services you've connected.
* <Icon icon="settings" /> **Settings.** Workspace name, logo, and preferences. See
  [Workspace settings](/workspace-settings).

Your account sits below those. Click your avatar for the organisation switcher, the theme picker
(Light, Dark, System) and log out.

The current page is highlighted. **Insights** stays highlighted while you're on a signals page,
since signals and insights are two views of the same chain. Press **Cmd/Ctrl+E** to collapse the
sidebar to icons and again to expand it, or hover the panel and click the chevron near its right
edge.

**Home** is the [Dashboard](/dashboard).

## The page with no sidebar entry

You reach it through a link or the URL bar.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Activity" icon="activity">
    The record of who changed what. Reach it from **See all** on the dashboard's **Recent activity**
    widget, from **All activity** at the foot of your notification inbox, or from **All activity**
    next to the **History** section on an insight, goal or brief detail page (those arrive
    pre-filtered to that entity type). See [Activity](/activity).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## The command palette

Press **Cmd/Ctrl+K**, or click **Search** in the sidebar. Start typing a command or a search term.

The palette opens on **General**. **Copy URL** puts a link to the current page on your clipboard,
and **Switch Theme** leads to Light, Dark and System. Next comes **Navigation**, the same nine
destinations as the sidebar. Below that sit your **Documents** and **Folders**, matched on both title
and path.

Type more than a word or two and three live search groups appear. **Insights**, **Goals** and **Data
Signals**, each result showing its title and reference (`IN-12`, `GL-4`, `SI-88`). A **Workspaces**
group at the bottom switches workspace, with the current one marked **Current**.

Selecting any result takes you there and closes the palette. Escape dismisses it.

## Reference chips

Entities link to each other through reference chips, small clickable tags carrying an ID. Click one
to open the item. They show up in the daily brief, inside briefs, on action rows, in goals and
in agent messages.

Each type has its own prefix, so you can read a reference without context.

| Prefix | Entity |
| - | - |
| `IN-` | <Icon icon="zap" /> Insight |
| `GL-` | <Icon icon="trophy" /> Goal |
| `AC-` | <Icon icon="square-check" /> Action |
| `BR-` | <Icon icon="file-text" /> Brief |
| `SI-` | <Icon icon="radio" /> Data signal |
| `CL-` | <Icon icon="layers" /> Signal cluster |
| `DC-` | <Icon icon="file" /> Document |

Folders carry no prefix, so you reach those by name.

## Switching workspace and organisation

Click the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar for a list of every workspace in the
organisation, each with its description, the current one ticked. **Create workspace** at the bottom
starts a new one, which begins with its own [setup conversation](/quickstart). The **Workspaces**
group in the command palette does the same job in fewer keystrokes.

Goals, insights, actions, briefs, knowledge, integrations and settings all belong to one
workspace and never leak between them.

Organisations are one level up. Switch between them from the account menu at the bottom of the
sidebar. Squad sends you to that organisation's default workspace.

## On mobile

A pill floats at the bottom of the screen instead of the sidebar, carrying two buttons. A menu, and
**Ask your Squad** for the chat panel.

The menu opens a grid of **Home**, **Search**, **Inbox** and **Knowledge**. A divider follows, then
the full list of Agents, Goals, Insights, Actions, Briefs, Knowledge, Integrations and Settings.
Search there is the same command palette you get on desktop.

## When the connection drops

Squad keeps open pages live over a single connection, so a teammate's change appears in front of you
without a refresh. Close your laptop, change networks, or wait out a VPN reconnect and that
connection goes away for a while.

When it returns, Squad confirms the network is genuinely carrying traffic before it reloads
anything. A connection can report itself back seconds before requests actually succeed, and firing
every query into that gap is how a page ends up quietly out of date.

If that takes more than a moment, a message reads **Some data may be out of date**. There is nothing
to click. Squad keeps checking on its own, spacing the attempts further apart the longer an outage
runs, and the message disappears the moment your data is current again. Switch to another tab and it
stops checking until you come back, so a laptop left open overnight is not sitting there retrying.

You do not need to reload the page, and reloading will not make it faster.
