# Find your way around

> A tour of Foundable’s screen: the top bar, Home, Build and Run, the chat, search, your account menu, and Foundable on your phone.

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 the bar | What it does |
| - | - |
| Ted’s mark, at the far left | Takes you to Home from anywhere. On Home, it shows as a dashed outline. |
| Your foundable’s name | Opens **Your foundables**, to switch businesses or start a new one. See [Your foundables](#your-foundables). |
| **Upgrade** | Shows the plans, where your account can buy one. A view-only teammate sees **View only** here instead. |
| **Home**, **Build**, **Run** | The three main places. A dot on Run, named “Ted needs you”, means a question or a decision is waiting for you. |
| Search (magnifying glass) | Finds chats, websites, files, emails and more in your foundable. See [Search](#search). |
| Inbox (envelope) | Your foundable’s email and social messages. See [Your Inbox](/inbox/overview). |
| Schedule (calendar) | The tasks Ted runs on a schedule. A dot means Ted set up a new task you haven’t opened. See [Scheduled tasks](/schedule/overview). |
| Earn credits (gift) | Invite friends with your link and earn credits. See [Earn credits](/account/earn-credits). |
| From Ted (bell) | What Ted made for you, with a red count of what you haven’t opened. See [From Ted](#from-ted). |
| **Support** | Chat with the Foundable team. A dot means they replied. See [Get help](/help/get-help). |
| Your initial | Opens your account menu. See [Your account menu](#your-account-menu). |

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

  </Card>
</Columns>

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](/run/posts-and-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](/ted/chat) 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**.

</Frame>

* **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](/account/integrations), 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](/get-started/home#from-ted).

## Your account menu

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

## On your phone

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Frame caption="Home, with the tabs along the bottom.">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/foundable/rLiVejhECh6lU1it/images/get-started/find-your-way-phone-home.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=rLiVejhECh6lU1it&q=85&s=df950fbe8cef9882e85190ecdf62a58a" alt="Foundable Home on a phone with tabs for Home, Chat, Build, Run and More along the bottom." width="780" height="1688" data-path="images/get-started/find-your-way-phone-home.jpg" />
  </Frame>

  <Frame caption="The More sheet’s Places.">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/foundable/rLiVejhECh6lU1it/images/get-started/find-your-way-phone-more.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=rLiVejhECh6lU1it&q=85&s=16b3c89461a99cd0a6abbf82421a0292" alt="The More sheet on a phone with Contact support at the top and the Places list: Search, Inbox, Schedule, Library, Switch foundable, Your website and Text Ted." width="780" height="1140" data-path="images/get-started/find-your-way-phone-more.jpg" />
  </Frame>
</Columns>

* **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

| Keys | What they do |
| - | - |
| ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) | Open Search |
| Enter | Send your message, on a computer |
| Shift+Enter | Start a new line |

## If you have view-only access
