Tour of the interface

• Studio is where you build: workflows, agents, connections, and datasets. It works inside one project at a time.
• Console is where you operate: what's running, what's live, and the solutions your organization uses. It looks across every project you can reach.

Switch between them with the first crumb after the Compass logo in the top bar — it reads Studio or Console. You land in Studio when you sign in.

Across the top of every screen:

• Compass — takes you to the current mode's Home.
• Where you are — the mode, then your organization, then (in Studio) your project, then the page. Click the organization or project to switch — or, in Studio, to create a New project. See Organizations and Projects.
• Notifications — the bell; see below.
• Chat — opens Compass Chat.
• Docs — opens these docs in a new tab.
• Your avatar — your name and email, a moon or sun button that switches between dark and light mode, Settings, and Sign out.

Switching organization or project re-scopes the app and takes you to the top of the section you were in.

The rail holds the current mode's pages, as icons that expand into labels when you hover:

Each mode has its own Home, and both open with a composer that asks Compass Chat — type a question, pick a model, and chat opens with it already sent. Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K) to jump to it.

Studio Home is your project's workbench. It shows what's in the project — how many workflows and agents are built and live, runs and spend this month — and Your work: the project's most recently edited workflows and agents (anything with undeployed changes first), each with its state and the next thing to do — Continue a draft, Open something live, or Review and deploy changes that aren't live yet.

Console Home is your organization at a glance: runs over the last two weeks, the share that completed, spend this month, how many releases are live, and what's running now. Below, a feed of recent executions, with tabs for Waiting for approval, Running, and Failed — review an approval, open a failure's trace, or watch a run's progress.

The builders auto-save your work as a draft and check it as you go. When you're ready, you Deploy from within the builder.

The bell in the top bar collects what's waiting on you in your current project:

• Approvals — tool calls paused for a human decision. Approve or Reject right from the bell. See Human-in-the-loop approvals.
• Connections needed — deployments with a model or integration that isn't connected yet. Click one to go straight to the slot. See Managing deployments.

Items clear themselves once they're decided or connected.

Compass Chat is the conversational way into everything, available from Chat in the top bar on every page. Hand it your agents, workflows, integrations, and datasets as tools; ask it what ran and why; have it draft changes for your approval.

Settings is where you manage your account and workspace. It's organized into three groups:

• You — Profile (your display name and email) and Security (your password, two-factor authentication, and where you're signed in).
• Organization — General, People, Projects, and Spend limits.
• Developer — API keys, SDK & CLI, and Claude Skills.
