Navigating Synthight
A tour of the sidebar, top bar, global search and notifications so you always know where a feature lives.
Every page in Synthight is reachable from the same left sidebar. Here's what's in it, top to bottom.
The sidebar
At the very top, an organization switcher replaces a static logo — click it to switch between organizations you belong to, accept an invitation to a new one, or create one from scratch. See Switching between organizations.
Below that, the main navigation, in this order:
| Item | Where it goes | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Home | /home | Your default landing page — activity overview, trends, and recent items |
| Findings | /findings | Extracted problems and requests |
| Topics | /topics | Conversations grouped by subject and sentiment |
| Customers | expands to People, Companies, Lists | Your customer database |
| Research | expands to Tests, Simulations, Interviews | Proactive research tools |
| Reports | /reports | AI-generated reports from any of the above |
| Workspace | expands to Team, Model Tuning, Connections, Billing, Settings | Organization-level configuration |
| Admin Panel | /admin | Platform-staff only — hidden unless you're a Synthight platform admin |
A thin divider separates Home from the rest, and another separates Reports from Workspace, so the sidebar reads as three groups: your daily work, research and reporting, then admin/configuration.
Click the thin rail on the sidebar's right edge to collapse it to icons-only, useful on smaller screens.
Search
Below the main navigation is a Search box (or a search icon when the sidebar is collapsed) — click it or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) to open a command palette that searches across Reports, Tests, Simulations, Topics, Audiences, Findings, Lists, Companies, People and Interviews at once. Type at least 2 characters to see results.
Your account
At the bottom of the sidebar is your name, avatar, and email. Click the ⋮ (three dots) on the right to open the account menu: Notifications, a dark/light theme toggle, Settings (your personal profile and preferences), and Log out.
The layout pattern
Most pages you'll visit — Findings, Topics, People, Companies — share the same shape: a header that shrinks as you scroll, a row of filter pills, a set of clickable analytics stat cards, and a table below. Every one of those tables also shares the same two controls in its top-right corner: a columns icon to reorder or hide columns, and a download icon to export to CSV. Once you've learned one page, you've largely learned them all.
