# Find your way around

> The sidebar, search, notifications, credits, the workspace menu and keyboard shortcuts.

Everything in Staffer hangs off one sidebar, always visible on the left unless you collapse it.

## The sidebar

| Item              | What it does                                                                                               |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Notifications** | Bell icon with an unread-count badge. Opens a popover of recent notifications.                             |
| **New job**       | Starts a fresh job chat.                                                                                   |
| **Jobs**          | Your workspace's full jobs list.                                                                           |
| **Applications**  | Every candidate across every job, with its own unread badge.                                               |
| **Messages**      | Your message threads with candidates, with an unread badge.                                                |
| **Calendar**      | Connected calendars and scheduled interviews.                                                              |
| **Talent pool**   | Everyone your workspace has shortlisted, promoted, received an application from or saved, across all jobs. |
| **Analytics**     | Workspace-wide hiring stats.                                                                               |

Below the nav sits **Recents**: a collapsible list of jobs you've opened recently, up to 12. Hover over a job and click the pin icon to keep it above Recents. Each job shows a colored dot: green means its listing is live, grey means the listing is a draft or closed. Hovering the dot spells it out: "listing is live," "listing is a draft," or "listing closed."

Click the collapse icon at the top of the sidebar to shrink it to icons only. This is saved for your browser.

## Search

Click the search icon at the top of the sidebar, or press **⌘K** (**Ctrl+K** on Windows), from anywhere. Type at least 2 characters to search jobs, candidates, teams, members, and every settings page you have access to. Results are grouped by type. Pick one to go straight there.

## Notifications, messages, and credits

The **Notifications**, **Applications**, and **Messages** sidebar items each carry their own unread-count badge, updated roughly once a minute. Opening the notifications popover shows **Mark all read** and a link to see everything on the full notifications page.

At the bottom of the sidebar, a credits chip shows either your organization's available credit balance, or, if your workspace has a monthly spend cap set, how much of that cap you've used this month. Click it to open your usage and billing details, if you have access to them.

## Support

Click **Support** at the bottom of the sidebar to open a chat window for help. It's the only way to reach support from inside the app: there's no floating help bubble anywhere else.

## The workspace menu

Click your workspace name at the bottom of the sidebar to open:

| Item                 | What it does                                                                                                                                                                  |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **Invite members**   | Opens **Settings** → **Workspace** → **Members**, where you click **Invite teammate**.                                                                                        |
| **Theme**            | System, Light, or Dark.                                                                                                                                                       |
| **Log out**          | Signs you out of Staffer entirely.                                                                                                                                            |

## Keyboard shortcuts

| Shortcut                    | Does this                       | Where                     |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| **⌘K** / **Ctrl+K**         | Opens search                    | Anywhere                  |
| **1**-**9**                 | Jumps to that workspace         | Anywhere, when not typing |
| **J** / **K**               | Next / previous candidate       | A candidate's own page    |
| Hold **⌘D** / **Ctrl+D**    | Push-to-talk voice input        | Any chat composer         |
| **Enter** / **Shift+Enter** | Send message / add a line break | Any chat composer         |

Only the search and microphone buttons mention their shortcuts in a tooltip.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why don't my teammates see the same Recents or pinned jobs I do?">
    Pinned jobs and Recents are stored in your browser, not on your account. They don't sync across your own devices either, and nobody else in the workspace sees your list.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Search didn't find a candidate I know exists. Why?">
    Search needs at least 2 characters, and only returns candidates, jobs, teams, and members, plus settings pages you have permission to open. It won't surface something you don't have access to.
