# Main navigation - settings, profile, and global menu

The main navigation is the vertical bar on the very left. It provides quick access to key areas, lets you switch context, and helps you manage your workspaces and apps.

* [**Global menu**](#the-global-menu) sits at the top of the main navigation. Click the 3x3 dots icon to open it. It gives you access to search, organization and workspace switching, and quick access to settings.
* **Home** takes you to [workspace home](/getting-started/builder-getting-started/intro-to-the-ninox-ui/workspace-home-inbox-documents-bookmarks-and-history.md), where you can access your inbox, documents, bookmarks, and history.
* **Ninox AI chat** opens the [**Ninox AI assistant**](/getting-started/builder-getting-started/intro-to-the-ninox-ui/ninox-ai-assistant.md) in a side panel, so you can keep working in the current screen.
* **Create app** lets you create a new app in the current workspace.
* All apps in the current workspace are listed below. Click any app to open it.
* **Settings** at the bottom of the main navigation opens the central [Settings screen](/getting-started/builder-getting-started/intro-to-the-ninox-ui/settings-screen-user-organization-workspace.md), where you configure your user account, organization, and workspace.
* The **Profile** button opens the profile menu. From there, you can open [**Profile**](/getting-started/builder-getting-started/intro-to-the-ninox-ui/settings-screen-user-organization-workspace.md#user-account-and-profile-settings), **Contact support**, switch to dark mode, or **Sign out**.

### The Global menu <a href="#the-global-menu" id="the-global-menu"></a>

The **Global menu** is always available, no matter which app or table you have open. Click the **3x3 dots** icon at the top of the main navigation to open it. It brings search, context switching, and workspace-level actions together in one place. Use it to quickly switch organizations, workspaces, or open settings without losing your place.

Use the search bar at the top when you want to jump quickly to an organization, workspace, or another item.

The menu also helps you move between levels. You can open the current organization or workspace directly from here. If you work across multiple organizations or workspaces, use **Switch organization** or **Switch workspace** to change context without leaving your flow.

From **Settings**, you can open the central settings area for your user account, organization, or workspace. Which section opens first depends on where you came from.

**Go to Ninox 3** takes you to the classic Ninox product.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ninox.com/getting-started/builder-getting-started/intro-to-the-ninox-ui/main-navigation-settings-profile-and-global-menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
