# Find your way around the Embers app URL: https://useembers.com/help/getting-started/find-your-way-around/ Category: Getting started Updated: 2026-10-01 Last verified: 2026-10-01 > The sidebar, the Settings sections, the pages it does not list, the command palette on Cmd or Ctrl K, and every keyboard shortcut in the app. Every screen in Embers hangs off one sidebar, and a command palette on `Cmd` `K` (`Ctrl` `K` on Windows and Linux) reaches everything, including the pages the sidebar leaves out. This page maps both, plus the keyboard shortcuts. ## The sidebar From top to bottom: - **The workspace card.** The name of the workspace you are in, your role, and the plan. Click it to open **Switch workspace**: every workspace you can open, **Add workspace**, and **Workspace settings**. See [switch between workspaces](/help/getting-started/join-a-workspace/#switch-between-workspaces). - **Search.** Opens the command palette. - **The Workspace list**, in this order: | Row | Path | What it is for | | --- | --- | --- | | Dashboard | `/dashboard` | The numbers, the strongest opportunity, and the newest qualified leads. See [the dashboard](/help/leads/dashboard/) | | Clients | `/agency` | Agency portfolios only. See [agency workspaces](/help/reports-and-workspaces/agency-workspaces-and-client-feeds/) | | Agents | `/agents` | Turn each signal agent on or off and read its scans. See [choose your agents](/help/getting-started/choose-your-agents/) | | Leads | `/leads` | Every lead, with the total beside the row. See [the leads list](/help/leads/leads-list/) | | Posts | `/posts` | Every post Embers watches, [ranked by the leads it produced](/help/signals/posts-page/) | | Comments | `/comments` | Your comments on other people's posts and [who engaged with them](/help/signals/comments-page/) | | Watchlist | `/watchlist` | The profiles, company pages, keywords, and posts you monitor | | ICP | `/icp` | Your ideal customer profile. See [define your ICP](/help/getting-started/define-your-icp/) | | Integrations | `/integrations` | One card per destination, with its connection state | | Settings | `/settings/profile` | Personal, workspace, and plan settings | - **What's new**, the latest product update. - **Your user card.** The menu behind it shows who you are signed in as and holds **Sign out**. The collapse button next to the logo folds the sidebar to a rail of icons, with each label in a tooltip. Embers remembers the choice in that browser. On a phone, the menu button at the top of the page opens the sidebar as a drawer, and the search button beside it opens the palette. ## Get help from any page The **?** button in the bottom-right corner of every page opens the help menu, the same one this site has: - **Search docs** finds help center articles as you type; each result opens in a new tab. - **Help center**, **Developers**, and **Changelog** open this site in a new tab. - **Share feedback** sends a bug, a request, or an idea to the team, with the page you are on attached. - **Email us** starts an email to viraj@useembers.com. - **Chat with us** opens the support chat. When the team replies, a dot appears on the **?** and the row says **New reply**. - **Book a call** books time with the Embers team. The button steps aside while a dialog or side panel is open, and while the chat is open it closes the chat. ## Settings Choosing **Settings** swaps the workspace list for the Settings sections. **Back to workspace** returns you to the last page you had open. | Group | Section | Path | Who sees it | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Personal | Profile | `/settings/profile` | Everyone | | Personal | Notifications | `/settings/notifications` | Everyone | | Workspace | Account | `/settings/account` | Everyone | | Workspace | Team | `/settings/team` | Everyone; inviting needs Growth or above and an administrator | | Workspace | Clients | `/settings/clients` | Agency portfolios | | Workspace | Content | `/settings/content` | Everyone | | Workspace | Developer | `/developer/webhooks` | Administrators | | Plan | Billing | `/settings/billing` | The account owner | [Account settings](/help/account-and-billing/account-settings/) covers what each section holds. ## Pages the sidebar does not list A few screens have no sidebar row. Open them from the palette or by path: - **Priority Queue** (`/priority-queue`): the ranked list of who to deal with next. `/today` redirects here. See [the Priority Queue](/help/leads/priority-queue/). - **Reports** (`/reports`): client and stakeholder reports. See [client reports](/help/reports-and-workspaces/client-reports/). - **Keywords** (`/keywords`) and **Qualify Post** (`/qualify-post`): the posts your tracked keywords matched, and [qualifying a single post](/help/signals/qualify-a-post/). The Watchlist's **Add monitor** adds both kinds of source. - **Setup** (`/setup`): the checklist that follows onboarding. See [the setup checklist](/help/getting-started/quickstart/#finish-the-setup-checklist). ## Search with the command palette ### Open the palette Press `Cmd` `K` or `Ctrl` `K` from any page, or choose **Search** in the sidebar. ### Type what you are looking for With nothing typed, the palette lists every page, your workspaces, and **Help center**. Type two or more characters and it also searches your leads (names, companies, job titles), your posts, and your comments, showing up to five of each, plus a "Search leads for ..." row that opens the full filtered list. ### Pick a result Move with the arrow keys, open with `Enter`, and close with `Esc`. Picking a lead opens its [full lead page](/help/leads/lead-detail/), with notes and follow-up dates. On the Leads page the palette adds **Search leads** and **Export leads**. Administrators also get **Webhooks** and **Connected apps** entries. ## Keyboard shortcuts Press `?` anywhere to open the full list for the page you are on. Letter shortcuts never fire while you are typing in a field. | Keys | Where | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | `Cmd` or `Ctrl` `K` | Everywhere | Open the command palette | | `/` | Everywhere | Focus the page's search field | | `?` | Everywhere | Show the shortcut list | | `Esc` | Everywhere | Close the open panel or dialog | | `G` then `D`, `L`, `P`, `C`, `X`, `R`, `I`, `A`, or `S` | Everywhere | Go to Dashboard, Leads, Posts, Comments, Watchlist, Reports, ICP, Agents, or Settings. Press the second key within 1.5 seconds | | `Cmd` or `Ctrl` `E` | Leads | Export the current page, or the leads you selected, as CSV | | `J` and `K` | Leads | Next and previous lead | | `Enter` | Leads | Open the first lead | | `C`, `D`, `R` | Leads, with a lead open | Mark contacted, dismiss, reactivate | | `A` | Agents | Add a new agent | | `N` | Reports | Generate a new report | The Leads shortcuts and export follow the plan: on Free, where the list is a preview, row navigation and [CSV export](/help/integrations/csv-export/) stay off. ## Related - [Key terms](/help/getting-started/key-terms/): What engager, lead, monitor, and the other words in the app mean. - [Find and filter leads in the leads list](/help/leads/leads-list/): Tabs, filters, statuses, and the lead sheet. - [Manage your profile and account settings](/help/account-and-billing/account-settings/): What each Settings section holds. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I search across leads, posts, and comments?** Press Cmd K on a Mac or Ctrl K elsewhere, or choose Search under the workspace card, and type at least two characters. The palette shows matching leads, posts, and comments, plus a search of each page. **Where is the Priority Queue in the sidebar?** It is not listed there. Open it at /priority-queue (the older /today address redirects to it). **Why do some Settings sections not appear for me?** Settings hides what your role cannot use. Developer is for administrators, Billing for the account owner, and Clients only appears on an agency portfolio.
