  1. The Launchpad is your start page. Click it in the sidebar any time to come back.

  2. Click a section in the sidebar, such as Users, to open its pages.

  3. Press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac), or click Search: jump to anything, and type a page name.

  4. Click the pin beside a result to add it to your favourites.

  5. Click the result, or press Enter, to jump to the page. Pinned pages stay at the top of the sidebar.

Good to know

  • Pins are saved in your browser only, so they do not follow you to another computer.

  • Click the pin again to remove it.

  • The arrow next to your academy name collapses the sidebar. Hover a section to see its pages.

  • A badge on a section means something needs you, such as unread notifications.
