# Find your way around LiftAI

> A tour of the LiftAI sidebar and top bar so you can find Portfolio, Tickets, Spending, Contracts, Compliance, and more.

LiftAI has two main navigation areas: the **sidebar** down the left edge for moving
between sections, and the **top bar** for search and quick actions. Which items you
see depends on your role — see
[Understand your role and what you can access](/getting-started/your-role-and-access).

## The sidebar

The icon rail on the left is how you move between the main sections of LiftAI.
Depending on your role, you may see:

* **Work Queue** — your ranked list of items that need attention across the portfolio,
  with a count badge showing how many are open. It's the Consultant home page. See
  [Triage your Work Queue](/work-queue/triage-your-work-queue).
* **Insights** — interactive analytics dashboards, such as maintenance performance.
* **Portfolio** — your properties and portfolio-level performance.
* **Tickets** — service and repair tickets across your properties.
* **Spending** — invoices and invoice review.
* **Contracts** — service contracts for your properties.
* **Compliance** — certificates, inspections, and violation tracking.
* **AI-extracted Docs** — PDFs you've uploaded for AI processing, ready to review and
  approve. Shown to Consultants. See
  [Review AI-extracted documents](/documents/ai-extracted-documents).
* **Admin** — user and account management. Shown only to **Group Admins**.
* **Tools** — internal data utilities. Shown only to LiftAI staff accounts.

<Note>
  Items you do not have access to simply do not appear. For example, Spending and
  Compliance are not shown to most Clients, and Admin appears only if you are a
  Group Admin.
</Note>

### Bottom of the sidebar

Unlike the labeled sections above, the controls at the bottom of the sidebar are
icon-only — there are no text labels. From top to bottom:

* **Help Center** (question-mark icon) — opens this help site at
  [help.liftai.com](https://help.liftai.com).
* **Request Support** (headset icon) — opens a short form to contact the LiftAI team.
  See [Get help and contact support](/getting-started/get-help).
* **Log out** (exit-arrow icon) — signs you out of LiftAI.

## The top bar

The bar across the top of most pages holds search and quick actions:

* **Search** — universal search across your data. Open it with the search box or the
  keyboard shortcut (⌘ + K on Mac, Ctrl + K on Windows). Available to Consultants.
* **What's New** — the bell icon opens recent product updates. A dot on the bell
  means there are updates you have not seen yet.
* **Ask Lift AI** — opens the **Lift AI assistant**, which answers questions about
  your portfolio. Available to Consultants. See
  [Ask the assistant](/assistant/ask-the-assistant).
* **Upload** — upload a document (such as an invoice or compliance certificate) for
  processing. Available to Consultants.

<Note>
  Invoices awaiting review used to live behind a **Review Pending** button in the top
  bar. They now appear in your **Work Queue** as *Invoice review* items. See
  [Find invoices awaiting your review](/invoices/find-pending-invoices).
</Note>

<Tip>
  Some pages also show **filters** beneath the top bar so you can narrow what you
  are viewing. The exact filters depend on the section you are in.
