Workspace tour
The first time you open a project, the screen has more on it than most editors. This page answers the four questions everyone asks on day one. Use it as orientation, not reference. The full feature pages take over once you know where to look.
[Screenshot: annotated full-app shell] One screenshot with numbered hotspots on the header, file explorer, editor area, right pane, and status bar. Asset name:
workspace-shell-annotated.png. This is the only screenshot this page needs. The numbers in the screenshot match the section ordering below.
Where do you type?
Section titled “Where do you type?”In the editor area in the center of the window. Everything else around it is supporting context.
The editor opens whichever file you click in the left-hand file explorer. Each open file gets a tab. The tab you focus is what the keyboard goes to. The right sidebar (AI, comments, version history) does not take typed text by default; you have to click into it.
If the editor area looks empty when a project first opens, click a file in the file explorer to load it.
Where does your work live?
Section titled “Where does your work live?”Two project states:
- Private. A new project starts private in this browser by default. If you open a folder, it is still private, but backed by your device folder. Private projects are not available on other devices until you publish them.
- Published. Sharing/publishing creates a cloud copy. The project can then be opened across devices (subject to access), and the status bar shows sync/collaboration state.
This is one of the things the app does that surprises new users, so it is worth glancing at the storage icon when you open something. See Storage and privacy for the full behavior.
Which panel does what?
Section titled “Which panel does what?”| Region | What it is | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Header | Project switcher, share button, storage icon, panel toggles, settings | Switch projects, share, toggle panes |
| Left sidebar (file explorer) | The list of files in this project, with rename/move/delete | Open files, organize the project |
| Editor area with tabs | The file or files you are editing | Type here |
| Right sidebar | Three tabs: AI Chat, Comments, Version History | Ask the agent, discuss with collaborators, see what changed |
| Status bar | Editor mode toggle (Code / Visual), Private badge, collaboration status, storage status | Glance to confirm state |
The right sidebar starts on AI Chat. The tabs at the top of that pane switch between the three views. Hidden? Toggle the right pane from the header.
How do you come back to a project tomorrow?
Section titled “How do you come back to a project tomorrow?”If your project is private in browser storage: return in the same browser on the same device.
If your project is private in a folder: return by re-opening that folder (browser permissions may need re-grant each session).
If your project is published: anyone with access can open it from their own Titan on any device. The latest content has a cloud copy.
The dashboard (top-left Dashboard button) lists every project you can reach in your current sign-in, with tabs for state (Private / Published) plus recency/starred views.
Quick reference
Section titled “Quick reference”Detailed behavior for each region lives on its own feature page. Use the table when you need to dive into one part.
| Shell element | Read next |
|---|---|
| Top bar (header) | Projects, Storage and privacy, Settings and preferences |
| File explorer sidebar | File workspace |
| Editor tabs and editor surface | Markup formats, Editing modes |
| Right pane (AI, Comments, Version History) | Workspace agent, What the agent can see, Comments, Version history |
| Status bar | Editing modes, Storage and privacy, Real-time collaboration, Sync and offline |
A guided tour overlay inside the app is not currently shipped. The closest workflow is to open a project, sit on the Quickstart, and use the screenshot above as a map.
Suggested next steps
Section titled “Suggested next steps”- Quickstart — load a dataset, ask the agent, write up the answer.
- Set up your layout and preferences — make the shell match how you work.
- Get help from the workspace agent — first concrete use of the AI panel.
