Find your way around
The sidebar
Section titled “The sidebar”The left sidebar is grouped into sections. What you see depends on your role and on which features your Admin has switched on:
- Workspace — Home, Inbox, Sent, and Tasks. Tasks carries a red overdue count that disappears at zero. The count refreshes when you come back to the tab or move between pages, not on a timer.
- LinkedIn — Newsfeed and Signals, each shown only when its feature is on. Signals has its own badge for items awaiting review; it dims when capture has not run in over a day. When the capture extension is not answering, this section shows a warning pill — Extension off or Extension mismatch — that links to the settings page. See Troubleshooting.
- CRM — Contacts, Contact Funnel, Companies, Deals, and Deal Pipeline. Deals and its board hide when an Admin turns the Deals switch off.
- Lead Gen Pack — Campaigns, Campaign Board, and Reports, when the pack is installed and the module is on.
- My account — Email, Calendar, and Billing (Admins; only meaningful once billing is active).
- Admin (Admins only) — Settings, Members, and API keys.
At the bottom, the chip with your name, role, and workspace opens the user menu: the Help Center, demo videos, Send feedback, Settings, About, and Sign out.
The top bar
Section titled “The top bar”- Breadcrumbs — record pages show the record’s name, not an ID.
- Search — the centered search box (or Cmd/Ctrl+K) opens the command palette.
- New — creates a contact, company, deal, activity, or email. Entries you do not have permission for are hidden.
- Preferences — Theme (Light / Dark) and Density (Compact / Balanced / Spacious). Until you pick a theme, the app follows your operating system’s light or dark setting; once you choose, your choice sticks on that device.
Right-click works almost everywhere
Section titled “Right-click works almost everywhere”List rows, board cards, activity rows, conversation threads, Newsfeed and Sent rows, saved-view tabs, calendar chips, and the tiles on Home all have a right-click menu with the actions that make sense there. Only the actions your role allows appear. Selecting text first gives you the browser’s normal menu instead.
