Reading a Project

The sidebar, the page, the list of headings, and the search box.

On a wide screen a project page has three columns: the sidebar, the page, and the page's headings. On a narrow one they fold away, and the page has the screen to itself.

The Sidebar

The sidebar lists the project. Its first entry, Landing, is the project's front page. Below it come the sections, each with its pages in order, and groups that open and close. The page you are reading is highlighted. On a phone the sidebar folds into a bar at the top of the page, which names the Lab and the project; the project's name opens the Menu.

The Page

The middle column is the artifact: its kind and title, a line saying what it is about, its date and topics, and then the text. After the text come the links that tie it to other work, the model that produced it when AI helped, and the pages before and after it in the sidebar's order.

On This Page

A long page lists its headings in a column on the right, so you can see its shape and go straight to a part of it. The column appears when the window is wide enough to hold it.

The search box is at the top of every page. Inside a project it searches that project: the button at its right end names the project, and pressing it widens the search to every project, or narrows it back. Outside a project it searches everything.

Results appear under the box as you type. Each shows a page's title, its section and a line of its text; when a heading matches, the heading is offered as well, and leads straight to that part of the page. The arrow keys move through the results, Enter opens one and Escape puts them away. ⌘K, or Ctrl+K, reaches the box from anywhere.

Results are ordered by how well they match what you typed, and by nothing else. Search finds what you ask for, in the scope you chose; it never suggests what to read next.
