When you first open Zolt, you land in your workspace — the central hub where all your projects, tasks, and team activity live. Understanding the layout makes it easy to navigate to exactly what you need, whether that's jumping into a specific project, reviewing upcoming deadlines, or searching for a task buried across a dozen workstreams. This page walks you through each major area of the Zolt interface. ## The Sidebar The sidebar runs along the left edge of the screen and is your primary navigation tool within Zolt. * **Project list** — Every project you're a member of appears here. Click any project name to open it. Projects are grouped by team space by default, but you can reorder them manually by dragging. * **Favorites** — Pin the projects, views, or pages you open most often by hovering over the item and clicking the star icon. Favorited items appear at the top of the sidebar under **Favorites** for instant access. * **Team Spaces** — If your workspace is organized into departments or squads, each team space appears as a collapsible section in the sidebar containing that team's projects. * **Settings** — The gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar opens workspace and account settings, where you manage team members, billing, integrations, and security. Pin your most active projects to the sidebar's **Favorites** section to avoid scrolling through a long project list. Hover over any project name and click the ★ icon — pinned projects stay at the top of the sidebar no matter how many other projects you join. ## The Dashboard The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It gives you an at-a-glance summary of what needs your attention right now. * **Open tasks** — A count of all tasks currently assigned to you across every project, grouped by priority. Click any group to jump straight to those tasks. * **Upcoming deadlines** — Tasks and project milestones with due dates in the next seven days, sorted chronologically so nothing slips through. * **Recent activity** — A live feed of changes made across your projects: new tasks added, status updates, comments posted, and files attached. Each activity item links directly to the relevant task or project. You can customize which widgets appear on your Dashboard by clicking **Customize Dashboard** in the top-right corner and toggling sections on or off. ## Project Views Inside any project, you can switch between three views to see your tasks in the format that suits your workflow best. * **List View** — A traditional task list grouped by status (To Do, In Progress, Done). Ideal for detailed planning and bulk-editing task properties. Sort and filter columns to slice the data however you need. * **Board View** — A Kanban-style board where each column represents a status. Drag task cards between columns to update their status instantly. Best for teams that work in sprints or want a visual overview of flow. * **Calendar View** — Tasks plotted on a monthly or weekly calendar by due date. Use this view to spot deadline clusters and redistribute work before bottlenecks form. Switch views using the **List**, **Board**, and **Calendar** tabs at the top of any project page. Zolt remembers the last view you used for each project. ## The Command Palette The command palette gives you keyboard-driven access to nearly everything in Zolt without lifting your hands from the keyboard. Press **Cmd+K** (macOS) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the app to open it. From the command palette you can: * **Navigate** — Jump to any project, view, or settings page by typing its name * **Create** — Quickly create a new task, project, or team space with a single keystroke * **Search** — Find any task, comment, or file across your entire workspace by keyword * **Run actions** — Change a task's status, assignee, or priority without opening the task detail panel The command palette supports fuzzy search, so you don't need to type exact names — Zolt surfaces the closest matches as you type. *** Learn how to create projects, set milestones, configure project settings, and archive work when it's complete. Customize your Dashboard, build saved filters, and set up widgets that surface the metrics most important to your team.
