![The Ghostex window: the sidebar, an agent chat under the header with Start, Open and Commit, and the Commands pane at the bottom](/docs/blume-assets/content/docs/images/window.png)

The window has three parts: the **sidebar** on the left, your **sessions** in the middle, and an optional **view panel** on the right.

## Sidebar

Your projects and their sessions. From top to bottom:

- **Top row**: hide the sidebar, search, the **Notifications** bell, and the **More Options** menu (Add Project, Search by Prompt, Previous Sessions, Agents Hub, All Automations, Mobile & Remote).
- **Computers**: **Local** is this computer. Other computers you connect appear next to it.
- **Spaces**: icons that group projects together, so you can focus on one set of work at a time.
- **Projects and sessions**: click a session to open it. Colored dots show its state (see below).
- **Bottom row**: **Commands** (Quick Access), your account usage meters, and the **Settings** gear.

| Dot    | Meaning                               |
| ------ | ------------------------------------- |
| Orange | The agent is working.                 |
| Blue   | The agent finished.                   |
| Pink   | The agent is waiting for your answer. |

## Sessions

The middle of the window shows the session you picked. Each session can show a **chat** or the raw **terminal** of the same agent. You can split the area to watch several sessions at once. See [Sessions](/basics/sessions).

The **header** above it shows where you are (project and session name) and, on the right:

- **Start**: run one of your saved Actions, such as `npm run dev`.
- **Open**: open the project in another app, like your code editor or file manager.
- **Commit**: git actions such as commit, sync with main, and review.
- **⋯**: **Ask Ghostex**, Tips & Tricks, Resources (CPU and memory per session), Dev servers, and Extensions.
- The last two buttons show or hide the **Commands** pane (a terminal below your sessions, Cmd+J, or F12 on Windows and Linux) and the **view panel**.

## View panel

Code, Browser, Docs, Kanban and Automate open here, beside your sessions, so your agents stay in view. Drag the divider to resize it. See [Views](/views/overview).
