# Navigating the Dashboard

> Where everything lives in Glow: the workspace tabs, the workspace menu, and how to get from one to the other.

Signing in puts you in a workspace, on its dashboard. Everything else is one click away in the sidebar down the left.

On a brand-new workspace the dashboard opens with a box to describe the workflow
you want, alongside templates to browse and a short tour. Once your automations
have run a few times, that gives way to the panel below: what ran, what needs
attention, and what is live.

The main area shows run counts, a chart of successes and failures over the last seven days, and the workflows currently live.](/images/docs/getting-started/workspace-home.webp)
*The dashboard. The sidebar holds everything in the workspace; the panel shows what has been running.*

## The sidebar

The sidebar down the left holds everything in the workspace. Your workspace name sits at the top; clicking it switches to another.

*The five main entries sit at the top, with Team Assets, Support and Community grouped below them.*

| Item            | What it holds                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Dashboard**   | Runs over the last few days, how many workflows are live, and what ran recently.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| **Automations** | Your workflows, as cards or a list. Each shows its run count and whether it is Draft or Live. At the top, **"What would you like to automate today?"** takes a plain-language sentence and drafts the workflow for you, often the fastest way to start. |
| **Marketplace** | The public [template gallery](/getting-started/templates/sharing-and-templates).                                                                                                                                                                        |
| **Activity**    | Alerts needing attention and every run in the workspace, with a count on the item when alerts are waiting. See [Activity](/manage/workspace-settings/activity).                                                                                         |
| **Connections** | The apps this workspace has connected, and the full library you can connect.                                                                                                                                                                            |

Below those, three groups that fold away:

| Group           | What is in it                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Team Assets** | **[Deployment](/getting-started/templates/deployment)**, every workflow you have published and where it is live; **Files** your workflows read at run time; and **Variables**: team variables and secrets, sharing one table. See [Secrets and Variables](/manage/workspace-settings/secrets-and-variables). |
| **Support**     | This documentation, video tutorials, and a way to send feedback.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Community**   | The forum and the Discord server.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

## The header

Two things live along the top:

- **Open workflows**: tabs for the workflows you have open, so you can move between them without going back to the list.
- **Your name**, top right, which opens your [account settings](/manage/workspace-settings/personal-settings).

## The workspace menu

Clicking your workspace name at the top of the sidebar opens a short menu.

| Item                | What it does                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Manage team**     | Invite people, set roles, and see who is in the workspace. See [Team Management](/manage/workspace-settings/team-management).                     |
| **Billing & Usage** | Usage and pricing for every workspace role; financial details and billing management for Admins. See [Billing & Usage](/manage/billing/overview). |
| **Other teams**     | Every workspace you belong to, and **Create new** to start another.                                                                               |

## Keeping the list manageable

### Folders

Group workflows under **Automations**:

1. Click **Create new → New Folder**, choose a name, and select a color.
2. Drag workflow cards onto the folder to move them in.
3. Open any folder and create nested folders as needed.

_Note: Folders organize your view; they do not change workspace permissions._

### Archive

**Deleting a workflow moves it to Archive** with a **30-day** recovery window.

- Restoring brings the workflow back **switched off** to prevent unintended executions.
- Deleting directly from Archive is permanent.

**Deleting a workflow moves it to Archive** rather than removing it, and you can restore it from there for **30 days**. Each card shows the date it will be removed on. A restored workflow comes back **switched off**, so it does not start running the moment it returns. Deleting from Archive yourself is immediate and permanent. Archive is a way back from a mistake, not a place to keep something — to hold a workflow indefinitely without it running, leave it in Automations switched off.

- Set up who can do what in [Setting Up Your Team](/getting-started/setting-up-your-team).
- Build something with the [step-by-step tutorials](/getting-started/tutorials/your-first-workflow).
