# Navigating Leaf360

> The sidebar, search, keyboard shortcuts, notifications and light and dark mode in Leaf360 Mortgage CRM.

Every Leaf360 workspace has the same layout: a sidebar down the left, a header across the top, and your work in the middle. This page covers Leaf360 Mortgage CRM, the largest of the three workspaces, since it has the most navigation to explain. Read it when you can't find a screen, want to reorder the sidebar to match how you work, or want the keyboard shortcuts.

## The sidebar

The sidebar has four stacked parts.

<Steps>
  <Step title="The workspace switcher">
    At the very top. It shows which workspace you're in and lets you move between workspaces. See [Switching workspaces](/get-started/switching-workspaces).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Three fixed tiles and the Ask LIA home row">
    **Scenarios**, **Credit**, and **Live** sit in a row of three. **Scenarios** opens LIA's lender guide. **Credit** opens the credit dashboard — it's greyed out with a tooltip reading **Credit isn't enabled for your company yet** if your company hasn't turned it on. **Live** isn't available yet. Below them, the **Ask LIA** row carries a small **HOME** tag and opens the LIA Assistant.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your menu">
    The main list of screens — the part you can rearrange, covered below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your account">
    At the very bottom, showing your avatar, name, and email address. Click it to open a menu with **Account Settings**, **Notifications** (with an unread counter), **Current Workspace**, **Organization Role**, and **Log out**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### What is in the menu

The menu comes with these groups:

* **Work**: **Dashboard**, **Inbox** and **Tasks**.
* **Pipelines**: **People**, **Sales**, **Loans**, **Archive**, and **Partners**. **Sales** and **Loans** expand into the stages your company set up, so your list won't match a colleague's at a different company.
* **Tools**: **Marketing**, which opens **Automations**, **Rates**, **Emails**, **SMS**, **Websites** and **Brand Wiki**, plus **Campaigns**.
* **Referral Partners**: **Partners Overview** and **Partner Performance**.

**Teams** sits below the menu on paid plans. On the free plan, you'll see a **Free** tag and an **Upgrade** button there instead.

### Pinning and reordering

The menu splits into pinned rows, which show up front, and everything else, tucked behind a **More** row at the bottom of the list.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Expand More to see the rest">
    Click **More**. The unpinned screens appear underneath it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pin what you use">
    Hover over a row and click its pin icon to move it up into the visible menu. Hovering over a pinned row gives you the same icon to unpin it, labeled **Unpin from menu**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Drag pinned rows into the order you want">
    You can drag pinned rows to reorder them. The order you set is saved to your account, on top of whatever default your company set up — so your sidebar won't match a colleague's.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Collapse the sidebar to icons with the control at the far left of the header. When collapsed, the menu shows icons with tooltips, and the **More** section and pin icons aren't available.
</Note>

## Search

The header has a **Search...** button with a `⌘K` hint next to it. Click it, or press `⌘K` anywhere, to open the search box. Its prompt reads **Search leads, loans, contacts, or type a command...**.

Start typing and Leaf360 searches your records, grouping results by type: loans, leads, co-borrowers, business contacts, team members, and realtors. Click a result to open that record. Type fewer than two characters and you'll see a list of commands instead of results.

### Keyboard shortcuts

These work when the search box is closed.

| Shortcut | Goes to                 |
| -------- | ----------------------- |
| `⌘K`     | Opens and closes search |
| `⌘D`     | The workspace home      |
| `⌘S`     | Sales Pipeline          |
| `⌘L`     | Loans                   |
| `⌘,`     | Settings                |

On Windows and Linux use `Ctrl` in place of `⌘`.

The header also has a keyboard icon that turns shortcut hints next to sidebar rows on or off. Its tooltip reads **Show keyboard shortcuts** or **Hide keyboard shortcuts**, depending on the current state, and your choice is remembered in your browser.

## The rest of the header

Left to right after the search box, the header holds:

* The keyboard shortcut hint toggle.
* The light and dark mode toggle.
* **New lead or partner**, which opens a form to add one.
* **Import Data (CSV)**.
* **Import or Create Loans**, which opens the loan window in manual mode, with a tab to switch to import instead.
* Quick call and quick text buttons.
* The notification bell.

## Notifications

The bell in the top right shows your unread count. Click it to open a panel headed **Notifications**, with a **Mark all read** button that only appears when something's unread.

The panel splits into tabs: **Calls**, **Texts**, **CRM**, and **Inbox**. Each tab has its own unread count. At the bottom of the panel, a link takes you to the full list — it reads **View all notifications** on the CRM tab and **View all in Inbox** on the others.

Your account menu at the bottom of the sidebar also has a **Notifications** row with the same unread counter, which opens the full notifications screen.

## Light and dark mode

The toggle in the header flips straight between light and dark: it shows a sun in light mode and a moon in dark mode. One click switches it, and Leaf360 remembers your choice.

For more control, open **Settings** and choose **Appearance**. It gives you three options instead of two:

* **Light** — light mode with bright backgrounds.
* **Dark** — dark mode with dark backgrounds.
* **System** — follows your computer's own setting, so it switches automatically along with your machine's light and dark schedule.

## Common problems

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A screen I used yesterday has vanished from the sidebar">
    Check under **More** first — it's probably unpinned, not gone. If it's not there either, you may be in a different workspace: see [The three workspaces](/get-started/the-three-workspaces).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Credit is greyed out">
    Your company hasn't turned it on. The tooltip says so — ask your administrator.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Live does nothing">
    **Live** isn't available yet. It shows as unavailable for everyone, not just you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="⌘K does nothing">
    The shortcut only works inside the workspace, not on the sign-in page or the portals. Click into the page first, then try again — or just use the **Search...** button in the header.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My sidebar order looks nothing like a colleague's">
    Pinning and ordering are per user, and your company's own pipeline setup decides what appears under **Sales** and **Loans**. Neither one is a problem — that's just how it works.
  </Accordion>
