# Navigating the App
> A quick tour of the AltamIQ workspace: the sidebar, the main content area, global search, and your account menu.
Once you're signed in, AltamIQ is built around three simple areas: a slim navigation **sidebar** down the left edge, the **main content area** that fills the rest of the screen, and **global search** you can open from anywhere. This page gives you a quick tour so you always know where you are and how to get where you're going.
## The layout at a glance
* **Sidebar (left).** A slim rail of icons that stays with you on every page. Hover over it and it expands to reveal the full section names, along with your name and a sign-out button at the bottom.
* **Main content area (center).** Everything you're working on (lists, profiles, dashboards, and forms) appears here. The section you're currently in is highlighted in the sidebar.
* **Global search (top).** A search box near the top of the page lets you jump straight to any partner, deal, asset, or other record without hunting through menus.
On a phone or smaller screen, the sidebar tucks away. Tap the **menu** icon in the top-right corner to slide out the full navigation list, and use the compact search bar just below the page title to search.
## The sidebar at a glance
The sidebar is split into two groups. The top group holds your everyday working areas; the lower group holds supporting tools, links, and settings. Hover the rail to see each label, then select an icon to open that section.
Your home base: an overview of your partners, action items, and what needs your attention.
Browse and search every partner. Select a partner here to open its full profile.
Training and enablement content that helps partners get up to speed.
Your to-dos and notifications, so nothing important slips through the cracks.
Register and track partner deals through the pipeline.
Shared marketing files and collateral you can browse and download.
Charts and metrics that show how partners and programs are performing.
Manage affiliate relationships connected to your partners.
Track partner compliance items and their status.
Reference articles and documentation for your program.
Handy shortcuts that open the AltamIQ community and resource pages in a new browser tab.
Your account, security, and (for Admins) program-wide configuration and integrations.
What you see in the sidebar can depend on your role. Some areas (and some actions inside them) are only available to Managers or Admins.
## Finding things fast
The fastest way to get anywhere is global search. Instead of clicking through sections, type what you're looking for and jump straight to it. Search covers partners, deals, tasks, marketing assets, compliance items, certifications, knowledge base articles, affiliates, and partner notes and strategy. It can also take you directly to a page by name.
Select the **search box** near the top of the page. You can also open it from your keyboard at any time: press **⌘K** on a Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows. Pressing **/** on its own opens it too, as long as you're not already typing in a field.
Start typing a partner name, a deal's client, a certification, an asset title, or a page name. Results appear as you type, grouped by type (Partners, Deals, Tasks, and so on).
Use the **↑** and **↓** arrow keys to move through the results and press **Enter** to open the highlighted one, or simply select a result with your mouse. To see everything in a group, choose **View all** at the bottom of that group. Press **Esc** to close search without going anywhere.
When you open search without typing anything, you'll see quick shortcuts, including any partners you've pinned, so your most-used records are always one click away.
## Opening a partner
Partners are at the heart of AltamIQ, and opening one is straightforward.
Select **Partner Directory** in the sidebar to see the full list of partners. You can switch between a table and a card view, and filter or search the list to narrow it down.
Select a partner's row (or use its **View details** option) to open that partner's full profile, where you'll find its overview, notes, strategy, assets, and related records.
## Your account menu
Your account lives at the bottom of the sidebar. Hover over the sidebar to expand it and you'll see your name and role, with a **Sign out** icon (a small door-with-arrow) beside them. Select it whenever you're finished, especially on a shared computer.
On a phone or smaller screen, open the navigation menu from the top-right corner and you'll find the same details and **Sign out** option at the bottom of the panel.
To manage your profile, change your password, or (as an Admin) adjust integrations and program settings, open **Settings** from the sidebar.
