Every screen on the console rail and in the account menu, and the question each one answers.

The console’s rail lists every screen: Measure, Improve, then Dashboards and Report, then Set up. The account menu at the foot of the rail holds Settings, Billing & plan and the help items. The console opens on Visibility.

## Moving around

Browse and Agent at the top of the rail switch between the screens and the workspace-wide Agent.

Search, or ⌘K, finds any screen, product, competitor, source or guide. The Agent button beside Search, or ⌘J, asks about the screen you are on.

The workspace switcher sits above the groups. Under it, the product picker sets which product every screen reads, and appears once a workspace has two products.

A screen whose figures need a reading says no reading yet until the first reading exists.
