Navigating the Platform
Product Sidebar
The Product Sidebar is the thin left panel that lets you switch between products:
- Test Management (beaker icon) — Click to go to your Test Management projects
- Accessibility (scan icon) — Click to go to accessibility scans
The active product is highlighted in blue. On account pages (profile, admin), neither product is highlighted.
If you don't have access to a product, it appears grayed out with a tooltip "Contact your admin to get access."
Navbar
The top navigation bar changes based on your context:
On Test Management
- Logo — Click to go to projects list
- Product label — Shows "Test Management"
- Project tabs — Test Cases, Test Cycle, Test Plan, Requirements*, Defects*, Reports (visible when inside a project). *Requirements and Defects tabs only appear when an integration is configured.
- Settings gear — Project settings (visible to Owner, Admin, Project Admin)
- AI button — Opens the AI assistant panel
- Profile dropdown — Profile, Change Password, API Keys, Organization Settings, Logout
On Accessibility
- Logo — Click to go to accessibility dashboard
- Product label — Shows "Accessibility"
- Profile dropdown — Same account links as TMT
On Account Pages
- Logo — Click to go to projects list

Profile Dropdown
Available from any page, the profile dropdown provides quick access to:
| Link | Goes to |
