<p class="main-paragraph">The Penpot interface has three main areas: Dashboard, Workspace and View mode. Lets take a look at their composition and main features.</p>

<p>The Dashboard is the place where you will be able to organize your files, libraries, projects and teams.</p>

<ol>
<li><strong>Teams:</strong> A team allows you to collaborate with other Penpot users. Team members are allowed to work with any project or file within the team depending on their permissions. Members with admin permissions can also invite other members. Create or join as many teams as you need with different groups of people.</li>
<li><strong>Search:</strong> If you are looking for a specific file just type its title at the search box.</li>
<li><strong>Projects:</strong> A project allows you to group design files. It works pretty much like a folder in a file system. You can create as many projects as you need. If you are going to work with more people in a project, you should create it inside a team.</li>
<li><strong>Drafts:</strong> The drafts section is where you can find the design files that are not inside any project.</li>
<li><strong>Shared Libraries:</strong> In this section you will find all the design files that have been added as shared libraries. That way you will be able to better control the files that are sharing their assets. </li>
<li><strong>Custom fonts:</strong> If you have purchased or own personal fonts that are not included in the catalog provided by Penpot, you can upload them from your computer and use them across the files of a team.</li>
<li><strong>Pinned projects:</strong> If you want to keep some projects handy (for instance because youre currently working on them) you can pin them to make them quickly available at the sidebar.</li>
<li><strong>User area:</strong> This must be you! Access your profile settings, Penpot tutorials, the Penpot Community and more. You can also find here a way to leave us feedback. Wed love to read your thoughts :)</li>
<li><strong>Comments notifications:</strong> Here you will be able to see if you have unread comments inside the files of the team.</li>
<li><strong>Create project:</strong> Create as many projects as you need to organize your designs.</li>
<li><strong>File card:</strong> Basic information about a file at plain sight. A preview, update info or if its added as a Shared Library. From there you can perform several actions over the file (rename, duplicate, move, download, delete).</li>
<li><strong>Libraries & Templates module:</strong> A curated selection of Libraries & Templates files ready to import.</li>

<h3 id="your-account">Your account</h3>
<p>Your account settings can be changed at the user area, in <b>Your account</b>. Here you can make changes to your profile, password or account language, as well as generate personal access tokens and access release notes.</p>
<p>If you want to change the email address associated to your account or remove your account entirely, this can be done in the <b>Profile</b> section.</p>
<h2 id="interface-workspace">Workspace</h2>
<p>The Workspace is where you actually create your designs. You have an infinite canvas where you can work directly but you also have the ability to create and work inside boards that will help you to create pages and exportation units.</p>

<li><strong>Assets panel:</strong> Each file has a default library (File Library) where you can store elements and styles that are likely to be reused within a project. That includes components, colors and typographies. To add an asset to a library just click the “+” button at the header of each asset group.</li>

<h2 id="interface-viewmode">View mode</h2>
<p>Launch the view mode to present and share your designs, comment on them and play with the interactions set at the workspace. You also have an Inspect mode where you can get properties specifications and code snippets. <a href="/user-guide/view-mode/">More about the View mode.</a></p>
