The short version

On desktop, the left rail opens `Home`, pinned hubs, `Vai`, `Power-ups`, `Account settings`, and `Help`. On mobile, `Power-ups` is in the drawer.

The desktop rail holds Home, pinned hubs, Vai, Power-ups, Account settings, and Help. On mobile, Power-ups is in the drawer.

The desktop rail

The rail down the left side is how you move around. It holds:

  • Home: your dashboard and starting point.
  • your pinned hubs, when your plan includes hubs.
  • Vai: the intelligence layer across Visualist, including Chat and its other tools.
  • Power-ups: guided packs for setup and useful workflows. Selecting it opens /power-ups.
  • Account settings: your profile, notifications, billing, and integrations.
  • Help: articles and answers when you get stuck.

To complete a guided pack from this destination, see How do I use Power-ups?.

If your plan includes hubs, up to five can sit directly in the rail. Open the hub picker to search the rest, and the hub you are already in stays visible even when it is not pinned. To choose which hubs stay there, see How do I pin a Hub to the rail?.

The mobile drawer

Open the drawer on mobile and select Power-ups to reach the same Power-ups page as the desktop rail.

Good to know

The Power-ups destination appears on every plan. The actions inside each pack follow their own plan access rules.

The Home dashboard

Home greets you and gathers the things that need your attention. You will find:

  • Your queue gathers the items waiting on you today. Each one says why it surfaced: Feedback, Deadline, Upload, FYI, Nudge, or Decision.
  • Continue working on takes you back to the last hub you were in.
  • Vai has been busy recaps recent work Vai handled for you.
  • Ask Vai anything is where you type a question or task for Vai.
Tip

Start your day on Home. The labeled items in your queue show what moved while you were away.

When you want to find something specific rather than wait for it to surface, see How do I search across Visualist?.
