Find your way around

Foundable fits on one screen. The chat with Ted sits on the left, your business fills the rest, and the top bar takes you everywhere else. On a phone, tabs along the bottom do the same job.

​

The top bar

In a narrower window, some tools fold into a … menu, and Support shows only Foundable’s F. When there’s no room for the gift, Earn credits moves into your account menu.

​

Home, Build and Run

A few more places open from the bar or from Search:

• Inbox: your foundable’s email and social messages, and drafts waiting for approval.
• Schedule: the tasks Ted runs on a schedule, on a calendar.
• Library: everything Ted made for your business, like posts, to review and post. It opens inside Run, from its Run | Library switch. See Posts and the Library.

​

Chat with Ted

The chat sits on the left of every page except Run. Type in the Message Ted… box and send.

• Hide chat folds the chat into a slim strip, and Show chat brings it back. While it’s hidden, a dot on Show chat tells you “Ted is working” or “Ted replied”.
• Drag the chat’s edge to make it wider or narrower.
• Chat history lists your chats, and New chat starts another one.

See Chat with Ted for everything the chat can do.

​

Search

Press ⌘K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows, or press the magnifying glass in the top bar. On a phone, tap More, then Search.

• Before you type, Search shows Recent items and Suggested places.
• As you type, it finds matches in your chats, documents, websites, files, posts, emails, email drafts, tasks, connected apps, settings and these help pages. Help results open in a new tab.
• It can take you places: Go to Home, Go to Build, Go to Run, Go to Inbox, Go to Schedule and Go to Library, plus Text Ted and Settings.
• Nothing found? Choose “Ask Ted: …” to send your words to Ted in the chat you have open.

Press Enter to open the top result, and the arrow keys to move between results. Escape clears the box, then closes it.

​

From Ted

The bell at the top right collects what Ted made for you, on every page. A red number counts what you haven’t opened. Press the bell to open the From Ted panel, where each item offers Review or Talk to Ted. Until Ted makes something, it says “What Ted makes for you will appear here.” On a phone, the count sits on the Home tab instead. See From Ted on Home.

Your account menu

Press your initial at the top right. From top to bottom, the menu holds:

​

Your foundables

Press your foundable’s name at the top left to open Your foundables:

• Every foundable you’re in is listed, with a check on the open one. Press another to switch.
• Settings opens the open foundable’s General settings.
• Invite people opens Team, if your role can invite.
• Create foundable starts a new business. The Free plan includes one foundable.

See Your foundables.

​

On your phone

On a phone, five tabs sit along the bottom: Home, Chat, Build, Run and More.

• Home shows the count of items from Ted you haven’t opened.
• Chat opens your chat with Ted. Its dot tells you “Ted is working” or “Ted replied”.
• More holds everything else: Contact support first, then Places (Search, Inbox, Schedule, Library, Switch foundable, Your website and Text Ted), Account (Settings, Language, Appearance and Reduce effects), Help (Tutorial hub, Docs and Report a bug), and Log out. Your website shows only while you have a live website.

A website preview in Build fills the whole screen, with its own bar. In the message box, Return starts a new line, and only Send sends. On an iPad, Foundable shows the computer layout.

Keyboard shortcuts

​

If you have view-only access

A teammate with view-only access sees View only after the foundable’s name: “You can see this foundable, but not change it or ask Ted for work.” They can read chats with Ted, but not send them. See Invite your team.
