Workspace & Navigation
Layout and use of the Kasimir workspace: sidebar, logo menu, global search and mobile navigation.
The entire signed-in area of Kasimir is built around a single, always-visible sidebar on the left edge. It is the central control panel: from here you reach every feature, start new chats, search your content and open your account menu. Unlike many applications, the desktop view deliberately has no additional top bar – the sidebar is the only fixed navigation surface, which keeps the screen free for your actual work.
The sidebar at a glance
From top to bottom, the sidebar is organised into four areas:
Header with logo menu, search, inbox and collapse
Main navigation with new chat, agents, workflows, tools, customize, files and notebook
Collapsible sections for teams, projects, pinned and chats
Bottom: the changelog card for new updates and your user menu
On desktop the sidebar is shown permanently. On mobile it is hidden at first and revealed via the menu icon at the top left (see "Mobile navigation").
Collapsing and expanding the sidebar
The double-arrow button at the top right of the header toggles between full width and a narrow icon-only rail. When collapsed, every navigation item stays reachable as an icon; its name appears as a tooltip on hover. The labels read Collapse sidebar and Expand sidebar. Your choice is saved and restored on your next visit.
Collapse the sidebar when you need maximum width for long documents, tables or the workflow view. Every feature stays reachable via its icon.
Logo menu and user menu
The logo menu at the top left leads – depending on your role – to your company’s Administration (owners and admins) or to the platform-wide Platform area (Kasimir staff only). Below that it shows the app’s version and last update; a click opens the changelog. Members without an admin role see only the logo there, without a menu. If your company sets its own logo, it appears there instead of the Kasimir wordmark.
The user menu at the very bottom (your name and company) contains:
Profile – personal settings under /settings
Support – tickets and help
Changelog – product news (under “Learn more”)
Handbook – this documentation
Appearance – light, dark or system
Language – German or English (DE/EN)
Sign out
Main navigation
At the top of the sidebar are the logo menu, Search (magnifier), the Inbox (bell; a red dot signals unread items) and the collapse button. Below:
Entry | Purpose |
|---|---|
New chat | Starts a new conversation |
Agents | Library of agents |
Workflows | Multi-step automations |
Tools | Expandable: translator, image generator, meetings, scheduled |
Customize | Expandable: skills, integrations, prompt library |
Files | Uploaded documents and folders |
Notebook | Jointly written knowledge |
At the very bottom you find your user menu. If there are product updates you haven’t seen yet, a card with the badge New and the link To changelog appears above it; the × hides it.
Teams, projects, pinned and chats
The lower, scrollable part of the sidebar holds four collapsible sections; their state is kept between sessions.
Teams
Your teams. A click opens the team page with the tabs Overview, Chats, Projects, Meetings, Workflows, Agents, Artifacts, Prompts, “Files & sources”, Notebook and Members. See Teams.
Projects
Your projects. Use + next to the heading to create a project (permission “Create projects”). A click on a project opens the project page and expands it so you see its chats.
Pinned
Appears only if you pinned something: pinned chats, agents and workflows for quick access.
Chats
Your private conversations, grouped into today, last 7 days and older. Each chat has a menu:
Rename
Pin / Unpin
Add to project – assign the chat to a project (team spaces are chosen in the chat header)
Share – create a read-only link to a snapshot
Delete
Chats can also be dragged into a project. When you hover over a chat, Kasimir preloads it – the click then opens it without waiting.
Global search (⌘K)
Global search is the fastest way to find content. It opens via the magnifier at the top of the sidebar or with the shortcut ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl K (Windows/Linux) – from any page.
Type at least two characters and results appear grouped by type: Chats, Agents, Workflows, Prompts, Files and Skills. Use the arrow keys ↑ / ↓ to move through the hits and Enter to open the selected entry. Clicking a result closes the dialog and jumps straight to the target.
Just remember ⌘K – it brings up search instantly from any chat, list or detail view, without touching the mouse.
Mobile navigation
On small screens the sidebar is collapsed into a space-saving drawer. Instead, a slim bar appears at the top with three elements:
the menu icon (☰) on the left, which reveals the sidebar as an overlay
the current page title in the centre
a magnifier on the right, which opens global search directly
The revealed sidebar contains the same content as on desktop and closes automatically as soon as you navigate to a page or tap beside the overlay. As an installed app (PWA), the interface additionally respects your device's notch and status bar.
Appearance, support and profile are reachable on every device via the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar.
Sidebar: projects and chats
Clicking a project name does two things: it opens the project overview and expands the project in the sidebar so you see its chats right away. Exactly one project is expanded at a time — opening another one collapses the previous. The arrow to the left of a project only expands and collapses, without changing the page; that lets you peek into another project without leaving the current one.
Hovering highlights the row you would hit — chats, projects and navigation entries alike. The row you currently have open stays the most prominent one.
