The short version

Use the desktop rail for Home, pinned hubs, Vai, and settings. Open Power-ups from the rail or mobile drawer to see its checklist, then select View all power-ups for the pack page.

Use the desktop rail to move between Home, pinned hubs, Vai, Power-ups, Account settings, and Help. Open the Power-ups checklist from the rail or mobile drawer, then select View all power-ups to browse packs.

The desktop rail

Use the rail down the left side to open:

  • Home: your dashboard and starting point.
  • your pinned hubs, when your plan includes hubs.
  • Vai: the intelligence layer across Visualist, including Chat and its other tools.
  • Power-ups: a checklist of setup and workflow actions. Select View all power-ups to open the pack page.
  • Account settings: your profile, notifications, billing, and integrations.
  • Help: articles and answers when you get stuck.

To complete a guided pack from this destination, see How do I use Power-ups?.

If your plan includes hubs, you can pin up to five directly in the rail. Open the hub picker to search the rest, and the hub you are already in stays visible even when it is not pinned. To choose which hubs stay there, see How do I pin a Hub to the rail?.

The mobile drawer

Open the drawer on mobile and select Power-ups to open the checklist. Select View all power-ups to open the pack page.

Good to know

The Power-ups destination appears on every plan. The actions inside each pack follow their own plan access rules.

The Home dashboard

Home greets you and gathers the things that need your attention. You will find:

  • Your queue gathers the items waiting on you today. Each one says why it surfaced: Feedback, Deadline, Upload, FYI, Nudge, or Decision.
  • Continue working on takes you back to the last hub you were in.
  • Vai has been busy recaps recent work Vai handled for you.
  • Ask Vai anything is where you type a question or task for Vai.
Tip

Start your day on Home. The labeled items in your queue show what moved while you were away.
