The Google app is designed to keep everything within reach. This guide walks you through the main areas of the interface so you can find features quickly and move around confidently.
The main areas
When you log in, the screen is divided into three main zones:
The sidebar is your primary navigation tool. From here you can:
- Switch between projects by clicking their names
- Access Settings at the bottom of the sidebar
- Collapse or pin the sidebar using the arrow icon at the top
- Create a new project with the + New Project button
Right-click any project in the sidebar to rename it, change its color, or archive it.
The top bar
The top bar gives you quick access to global functions:
- Search (
/ or Cmd+K / Ctrl+K) — Find anything in your workspace instantly
- Notifications (bell icon) — View recent activity and alerts
- Account menu (avatar, top right) — Access your profile, settings, and sign-out option
The main panel
The main panel shows your current context — a project’s items, a dashboard, or a settings page. You can switch how items are displayed using the view toggle at the top right:
- List — A compact, scrollable view of all items
- Board — A Kanban-style column layout grouped by status
- Calendar — Items laid out by due date
Keyboard shortcuts

Finding features
If you’re unsure where a setting or feature lives, use the search bar — it finds both content (items, projects) and features (settings pages, actions). You can also open the command palette with Cmd+K / Ctrl+K to run any action directly from the keyboard.
