The workspace rail, the sidebar, the command palette and the keyboard shortcuts in Elixion

Elixion, the platform for Engineering Intelligence™, puts one project in front of you at a time. This page describes the chrome around it: the rail that switches workspaces, the sidebar that moves you inside one, and the keyboard.

The workspace rail

The narrow strip on the far left is the workspace rail. Each tile is one workspace, shown as the first letter of its name. Click a tile to make that workspace current, and everything in the sidebar follows it.

At the bottom of the rail:

  • A + tile, which opens the create dialog for a new project.
  • Your account menu, for your profile and sign-out.

The project sidebar header doubles as a workspace switcher, with a check against the workspace you are in.

Pinned items

Above the sections, four items are always present:

  • Inbox: your notifications, with an unread count.
  • Favorites: everything you have starred.
  • Agents: the agents in this workspace.
  • Connect Claude: set up the Claude connector.

The sidebar

Project

  • Projects: the index of every project you can reach.
  • Overview: this project's front page.
  • Board: the Kanban board for this project.
  • Sprints: sprint list and planning. Hidden for Kanban projects, which plan continuously.
  • Epics: epics in this project.
  • Roadmap: the timeline planning view.
  • Dependencies: the cross-issue dependency graph.
  • List: the issue list.
  • Team: the people and agents on this project.
  • About: workspace and team information.
  • Project Settings: General, Board, Integrations, Agents and Team.

Insights

  • Overview: the analytics dashboard.
  • Reports: generated reports.
  • Charts: burndown, velocity and the rest.
  • Capacity: capacity planning.

AI Workspace

  • Agents: the agent directory for this workspace.
  • Agent log: every run, filterable.
  • Prompting: the in-app composer.

Connect

  • Integrations: shown while no project is resolved. Once you are in a project, integrations live under Project Settings, because every integration is project scoped.
  • Help and Docs: this documentation.
  • Settings: your account and workspace settings.

Click the chevron to collapse the sidebar. Collapsed items show their name on hover.

The top bar

  • The search control, reading Search issues, projects, people, with a ⌘K badge. It opens the command palette.
  • The notification bell, which carries the unread count and opens your Inbox.

Search

Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere to open the command palette. Type two or more characters and it searches as you go, showing up to eight results, plus a row that runs the full search and a row that hands your text to the AI composer.

Inside the palette: ↑ and ↓ move the selection and wrap, Enter opens the selected row, Escape closes it.

The results page groups hits into Issues, Projects, Documents, People, Comments, Agents and Sprints. Search matches every word you typed, in any order, across the fields it covers, and an exact issue or project key outranks everything else.

See Basic Search. For structured issue queries, see EQL.

The bell opens your Inbox, which filters by All, Unread, @you and Agents, and offers Mark all read. Each row links straight to the issue, sprint or project it is about.

Which events notify you, and through which channel, is on Notification Types.

Settings

Settings in the Connect section opens your settings, with a rail down the left: General, Security, Members, Organization, SSO, Directory sync, Billing, Notifications, Model providers and Agents. Administrators also see Admin.

API keys and your personal connections are sections on the General page rather than pages of their own.

See Settings.
