Choose the active team and workspace first
The two selectors in the dashboard header set your current team and workspace. Open the team selector first, choose the organization that owns the work, then open the workspace selector and choose the folder that contains the project. The page refreshes its projects, usage, assets, workers, and permissions for that context.
Always check these selectors before creating a project, inviting a member, opening usage, or looking for an item that appears to be missing. A project belongs to one workspace, and a workspace belongs to one team, so the same name in another context is a different item.
Read the Dashboard page
The Dashboard page shows Operational snapshot, Recent projects, Recent activity, Task throughput & recent tasks, and Recent exports. Select a project card to open its details, then use Open in Editor when you are ready to edit the map.
The summary cards show workspace, project, active-task, active-export, and asset totals for the selected context. Charts break down recent processing throughput and the mix of projects, tasks, and exports. Recent projects, activity, task throughput, and recent exports let you spot work that finished or needs attention without opening each list.
Dashboard numbers are a summary, not a replacement for the detailed lists. Open Tasks or Exports when you need an error message, job log, retry action, or download.
Find a feature or documentation page
Open the feature finder in the header and type the name of a page, action, or concept. Results can take you to platform features or to a documentation article. Choose the matching result; the finder does not change project data.
Use the finder when you know what you want to do but do not know which sidebar group contains it. Use a page search field, such as the one on Projects, Tasks, Assets, Workers, or Atlas, when you are searching the contents of that page instead.
Task and notification center
Open the notification control in the header to see live task and export progress plus account, team, community, and Noteboard events. A badge indicates unread or active items. Select an item to open its destination when one is available.
Use Mark all read to keep the items but clear their unread state, or Clear all when you no longer need the current notification list. Team invitations include Accept and Decline actions in the notification itself.
A processing-paused banner means the active tier currently cannot start more work. Open Usage to see the limiting capacity or tier condition, then wait for hourly task units to return, free capacity, or change the applicable plan.
Messenger and account menu
Use the Messenger control to open direct conversations and team chats without leaving the current page. An unread badge shows conversations that need attention. Direct-message requests must be accepted before normal two-way conversation begins.
Open the account menu at the far right for My Page, Settings, and Log out. My Page opens your public community profile; Settings opens private account and security preferences.
Guided tour and first project
A first-time guided tour points out the Projects destination, project creation, processing state, and the ready state. Use Next and Back to move through it or close it when you already understand the page.
The normal first path is Projects -> New project -> Project Wizard. After source tasks finish, open the project, launch the Editor, import the completed source assets, review the map, and return to the project to queue an export.
