# The desktop interface

The web app's left sidebar is the main navigation: chats, inbox, projects, tasks, and (for admins) the configuration pages.

## Collapsing the sidebar

The double-chevron button at the top of the sidebar, next to the app icon, collapses the menu to a narrow strip of **icons only**. Every icon stays clickable and leads to the same page as before; hovering an icon shows its name as a tooltip. Sub-items that have no icon of their own — the Task Manager sections, the recent-projects list — disappear while collapsed, and so do the section headers. The inbox unread count survives as a small red badge on the inbox icon.

Click the button again (it now points right) to bring the full menu back. The choice is remembered in the browser, so the sidebar comes back the way it was left.

Collapsing is purely visual and per browser window: it changes nothing about what the user can access, only how much room the menu takes — useful when working on documents in the file viewer or on a project board.
