Getting around
Every signed-in Elaichi screen shares three parts: the sidebar, the header and the command palette. Learn these three and you can reach any screen.
Where to find it: the sidebar is on the left of every signed-in screen, and the header runs across the top.
Use the sidebar
The sidebar lists the main areas of Elaichi.
| Area | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Connections | The app accounts you have authorized, and the ones shared with you |
| Connectors | The catalog of apps, plus the custom connectors your organization builds |
| Toolboxes | Toolboxes, templates and synthetic tools |
| Governance | Restrictions, the audit log and access requests |
| Settings | Organization settings, your own security settings, and People (members, roles and teams) |
| Connect | The endpoint and steps for adding Elaichi to an AI client |
The sidebar shows only what your role allows. For example, Connectors is hidden if you lack the connector:view permission, so your sidebar can be shorter than a colleague's. Connect may read Connect an AI client in some organizations.
At the top of the sidebar is the organization switcher. At the bottom is your profile menu, where you choose Log out.
Jump with the command palette
Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) to open the palette. Type to filter its list.
The palette does two things:
- Navigate. Jump to Connections, Connectors, Toolboxes, Governance, Settings or any Settings section.
- Create. Start Add connection, New connector, New toolbox or New template.
The palette offers only what you are allowed to do.
Use keyboard shortcuts
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| ⌘K | Open or close the command palette |
| ⌘B | Show or hide the sidebar |
On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of ⌘.
Read the header
The header shows where you are. On a detail page, the breadcrumb leads back to the parent list. On the right of the header you find:
- Page actions. The buttons for the page you are on, such as Add connection.
- Help. Opens the guide for the page you are on.
- Connect. An icon that opens the steps for adding Elaichi to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot.
- Theme. Switches between the light and dark theme.
What to know
- A bar at the bottom of the screen shows Unsaved changes with Discard and a save button. Save or discard before you leave the page.
- On a small screen the sidebar collapses behind a menu button, and some header buttons become icons.
- If a screen or action seems to be missing, your role may not include it. Ask an administrator to check your role under Settings → People.
