# Navigating the Dashboard

After successfully registering and logging into your Qanapi dashboard, you'll be greeted with an intuitive interface designed to help you manage your encryption and data protection needs.

## Dashboard Layout

The Qanapi dashboard is organized into several key areas:

### Left Navigation Sidebar

The sidebar provides access to the main sections of the dashboard:

* **Projects** - View and manage all your encryption projects
* **Team** - Manage team members who have access to your organization
* **Billing** - Manage your subscription, payment methods, and invoices
* **Security Log** - Review security events and activities
* **Settings** - Configure application settings
* **Templates** - Access pre-configured integrations with popular services

### Top Navigation Bar

The top bar contains:

* **Account Menu** - Access your profile settings by clicking your name in the top right
* **Help & Resources** - Documentation and support resources
* **Notifications** - System notifications and alerts

## Projects Page

Upon logging in, you'll be directed to the `/projects` page. This is your dashboard's home page where you can view all projects you've created.

The Projects page displays:

* A list of all your existing projects
* Status indicators for each project
* Quick access to project configurations
* The "New Project" button to create additional projects

  If you've just created your account, your Projects page will be empty until you create your first project.
