# Orientation URL: https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/getting-started/orientation/ > Finding your way around the app, from the main navigation to the Live Log. ABlyft has two levels: the **team** (your account, members and plan) and the **project** (one website with its own experiments and settings). Almost everything you do day to day happens inside a project. ## The top bar * **Active project**: shows the project you are working in. Click it to open **Switch project**, a searchable list of all projects of your team with the number of experiments in each status (running, paused, preview, draft). Select a project to open it. You can also create a project there, see [Projects](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/projects/). * **Team menu**: switch between teams if you belong to more than one. * **Global search**: press `Cmd + K` (macOS) or `Ctrl + K` (Windows, Linux) to search. * **Notifications**: the bell shows messages for you, for example a team invitation. * **User menu**: contains **Personal settings** and, if your role allows it, **Team settings**. ## Project navigation The sidebar of a project is divided into four groups. Counters next to an entry show how many items it contains. | Group | Entry | What you do there | | --------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Experiments** | **Experiments** | Create and manage experiments, see their status. | | | **Archive** | View archived experiments. | | | **Exclusion Groups** | Keep visitors from taking part in several experiments at once. See [Exclusion groups](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/experiments/exclusion-groups/). | | **Targeting & Goals** | **Audiences** | Define who takes part. See [Audiences](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/audiences-and-delivery/audiences/). | | | **Pages** | Define where experiments run. See [Pages & URL targeting](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/audiences-and-delivery/pages/). | | | **Goals** | Define what counts as success. See [Goal types](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/goals-and-measurement/goal-types/). | | **Project** | **Asset Management** | Manage the files you use in your variations. | | | **Integrations** | Connect analytics tools and other services. **Custom Integrations** is listed below it. | | | **Settings** | Project-wide settings, see below. | | | **Activity Log** | Who changed what. **Live Log** is listed below it. | | **Utilities** | **Experiment Ideas** | Collect and generate ideas. Hidden if your team has permanently disabled the AI features. | | | **Pre-Test Calculator** | Estimate how long a test needs. See [Pre-test calculator](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/results/pre-test-calculator/). | | | **Surveys (PollHero)** | Opens ABlyft's survey product in a new tab. | | | **Knowledge Base** | Opens the documentation in a new tab. | ### Settings **Settings** opens the general project settings. Further settings (Snippet, FullStack, Prerequisites, Data Protection & Compliance, Environments, Metadata) are listed below it. See [Project settings](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/projects/#project-settings). ## Experiment status at a glance In the **Experiments** list, every experiment shows its status: **Draft**, **Preview**, **Running** or **Paused**. See [Core concepts](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/getting-started/concepts/) for the meaning of each status. ## Live Log **Project → Activity Log → Live Log** shows the latest events that your snippet sent to ABlyft. It is the quickest way to see whether the snippet works and whether goals are triggered. See [Check events in the Live Log](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/goals-and-measurement/verify-measurement/#check-events-in-the-live-log). ## Activity Log **Project → Activity Log** is a history of changes in the project. For each entry you see the date and time, the object that was changed, the activity (for example created, updated, deleted, started, paused, archived), the changes and the user who made them. Use the **Activity** filter to narrow the list. The eye icon shows the details of a change and the arrow icon opens the changed object. ## Team settings Team-level pages are opened from the user menu with **Team settings**. A second sidebar then shows: | Entry | Purpose | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Team Settings** | Team name and logo, ABlyft Lumen (AI) settings, billing profile. | | **Plan Settings** | Your plan. **AI Usage** is listed below it. | | **User Management** | Invite and manage members. See [Members & invitations](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/members-and-invitations/). | | **Single Sign-On** | Only shown if your plan includes SSO. See [Single sign-on](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/single-sign-on/). | Which entries you can open depends on your role, see [Roles & permissions](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/roles-and-permissions/). ## Notifications In your notification settings you can choose to be notified about changes in the projects you have access to, by email or via Slack. See [Notification settings](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/notification-settings/). ## Next steps - [Your first experiment](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/getting-started/first-experiment/): Create and start an experiment step by step. - [Projects](https://docs.ablyft.com/guides/projects-and-teams/projects/): Create and configure projects.
