# Navigate in Nuvolos Navigation in Nuvolos mirrors the [organisational hierarchy](/features/nuvolos-basic-concepts/organisational-hierarchy.md): organisations contain spaces, spaces contain instances, and instances hold your working material. What you can see and do at each level depends on your [role](/administration/roles.md). The UI provides four main navigation elements to move through this hierarchy. ## The Dashboard The **Dashboard** is your starting point after logging in. It shows your recent activity, quick-access cards for your most-used applications, in the context of the latest organisation you have worked in. You can return to the Dashboard at any time by clicking the **Nuvolos logo** in the top left corner. ## The breadcrumbs The breadcrumbs bar at the top of the screen shows your current position in the hierarchy and provides links to higher levels. It helps you understand where you are and lets you quickly navigate back. For example, when viewing an instance, the breadcrumbs bar shows the organisation, space, and instance name. You can click any level to navigate there directly, or return to the **Dashboard** by clicking the first element. You can navigate to anywhere using just the *breadcrumbs*. ### Selecting an organisation The first level of the breadcrumbs bar doubles as an organisation selector. Depending on which [organisation](/features/nuvolos-basic-concepts/organisational-hierarchy.md#organisations) you are working in, you will see different datasets, projects, and courses. If you cannot find a particular space, check that you have selected the correct organisation. ### Selecting a space Spaces are all located within an organisation. You only see spaces where you have access to at least one instance. When you select a space from the breadcrumbs, Nuvolos automatically opens an instance for you: if you have access to the **Master** instance, it opens that; otherwise, it opens the first instance you have editor access to. You can always switch to a different instance using the instance level in the breadcrumbs. ## The sidebar The sidebar only shows up once you are in the context of a space and instance. It always refers to the currently selected space/instance combination — switching instance via the breadcrumbs updates the sidebar accordingly. From top to bottom, the icons lead to: * Overview * Files * Tables * Applications * Snapshot creation * Staging and distribution Hover over an icon to see its label. The currently active view is highlighted with a darker background. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
