To **navigate a large workspace**, stop browsing. Once a workspace holds dozens of apps and tables, searching is faster than any menu structure can be.

## Why menus stop scaling

A hierarchy that made sense at ten items does not at a hundred.

- Scrolling a side menu to find something used daily
- Items buried in folders whose logic only the builder remembers
- Similar names making the right one hard to identify
- Time lost between tasks rather than during them

## What replaces browsing

| Tool               | What it does                                       |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action bar**     | Search across apps, tables, and records            |
| **Favourites**     | Pin what you use daily to the top                  |
| **Folders**        | Group by process, not by type                      |
| **Home page**      | A starting point with the right apps for each role |
| **Quick settings** | Ctrl+. from anywhere                               |

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Use the action bar in **Jestor** to search rather than browsing the menu.
2. Mark your daily apps as favourites so they sit at the top.
3. Organize folders by process, so related tables and apps stay together.
4. Configure the home page per role with the apps that role actually uses.
5. Press Ctrl+. to open settings from anywhere.

## Why choose Jestor for workspace navigation?

**Jestor** searches across apps, tables, and records from one bar, which means a well-named workspace stays navigable regardless of how many items it contains.

Because the home page is configurable per role, most people never need the full structure — they land on what they use and search for the rest.
