# The workspace tour

> Where everything lives — the Project Map, the chat, the right panel, Collections, and the Inbox.

A quick map of the app. Each surface gets a paragraph here and a page of its own to follow.

## The Project Map

Your command center. Area pills along the top — the same taxonomy the [Atlas](https://darting.dev/docs/the-atlas/) maintains — filter three buckets: **filed plans**, **in-flight threads**, and **shipped work**, plus an archived count. Plans that are ready to go show a one-click **Build**, so the map is where work starts as well as where you watch it.

## The chat

Where you work with a thread's lead agent. The composer carries a model picker (see [Models & Auto mode](https://darting.dev/docs/models-and-auto-mode/)), image attachments, queued messages, and a per-thread draft so a half-written message survives you switching away. A **Visual proof** button asks for a screenshot or recording of the result — see [video proof](https://darting.dev/docs/video-proof/). A **+person** control pings a teammate without running the agent. Plan cards render inline in the conversation; [Plans & the Build button](https://darting.dev/docs/plans-and-build/) covers what's on them.

## The right panel

The thread's live workspace, alongside the conversation:

- The **Code tab** — a branch-aware file tree and diffs for the thread's sandbox.
- The **Git tab** — the branch graph; click any commit for its diff. Both are covered in [Git, diffs & Commit Thread](https://darting.dev/docs/git-and-commits/).
- The **terminal**, the streamed **desktop**, and **dev-server logs** — the live surfaces described in [Desktop, terminal & logs](https://darting.dev/docs/desktop-terminal-and-logs/).

## Collections

Every durable document in one place: [knowledge](https://darting.dev/docs/structured-memory/) entries, plans, and the collections your [automations](https://darting.dev/docs/automations/) maintain. Each is versioned and attributable — see [Collections & history](https://darting.dev/docs/collections-and-history/).

## The Inbox

One queue of everything waiting on you: proposed documents, merge suggestions, and flagged contradictions. [The Inbox & proposals](https://darting.dev/docs/inbox-and-proposals/) explains what lands there and what your yes does.

## Automations

Each standing loop with its run history and health, so you can see what a background agent did and when. Start at [Automations](https://darting.dev/docs/automations/), then [Built-in loops](https://darting.dev/docs/built-in-automations/).

## Settings

Project and team configuration: [rules and skills](https://darting.dev/docs/rules-and-skills/), [secrets](https://darting.dev/docs/secrets-and-environment/), [usage](https://darting.dev/docs/usage-and-limits/), and your [team](https://darting.dev/docs/teams/).

## Where to go next

If you're new, read [Workflow](https://darting.dev/docs/workflow/) for the end-to-end loop, then [Threads & branches](https://darting.dev/docs/threads-and-branches/) for the unit all of this hangs off.
