Find your way around

The menu always shows. Quick Buzz at the top opens a new Buzz in a panel on the right, so the page you're on stays in view. Under it, the pages sit in three groups:

At the foot sit AI apps, Settings and the Hive strength of the social set you're in. Press Hive strength to see the steps that raise it.

On a narrower screen the menu shows as icons, and each one names itself and its key when you point at it. On a phone, the menu button in the top bar opens the same groups.

The sidebar sits between the menu and the page and carries the section's own pages or the page's tools:

• On Buzz, New Buzz and your Drafts, Scheduled and Posted.
• On Hive, Add a Hive profile and your profiles, each with its Hive strength. On a profile, On this page jumps to its sections.
• On Settings, its sections, from Profile to Account.
• On Calendar, its filters, your best times and Coming up.
• On Channels, your social sets, and on Ideas, your Recent answers.

Weekly plan, Analytics, Scout, Library and AI apps have no sidebar. Press the panel button beside the Buzzmark name, or [, to hide or show it; its name says which, Hide sidebar or Show sidebar. The choice is kept on this device. On a narrower screen the same button opens the sidebar over the page, and a press outside it closes it again.

On the left is the social set switcher. Press it to change the set you're working in, choose Create a social set, or open Manage social sets.

On the right, in this order:

• Search, or ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows), one box for pages, actions, Your Buzz, Hive profiles, social sets and Help answers.
• The light and dark switch. Appearance in Settings has the same choice, plus Match system and the background behind every page.
• Help, with short answers for every page and Contact us to write to us. We reply by email.
• The bell, Notifications, with a row for each post once its first numbers arrive, a summary of the day before each morning, and what Buzz has ready for you, such as a proposal from your posts or a drafted week.
• Your photo, in a ring that fills with this month's Buzz. It opens the account menu: this month's usage, Profile, Organization, Plans and billing for the owner, Sign out, and at the foot the version you're on with What's new.

Quick Buzz, Create and any post you open from the Calendar or Analytics open in a panel at the right edge, over the page. The page to the left stays in view and keeps working. Opening another post swaps what the panel shows. Press Escape or anywhere on the page to close it.

After you set up your first Hive, a tour opens by itself. It starts with a welcome, then lights up the social set switcher, Channels, Hive, Buzz, Ideas and Analytics in turn, each with a line on what the place does.

Press Next and Back, or the arrow keys, to move through it, and Done at the end. Skip for now folds it into a Take the tour button next to the set switcher, and the tour opens once more on your next visit, at the stop you left. Skip it a second time and it asks whether to drop it: Remove the tour or Keep the button.

Take the tour in Help and in search starts it again from the first stop, whatever you chose before.

Single keys jump between pages from anywhere outside a text field. A page with letters of its own, such as the Calendar's views, uses them while you're on it.
