Navigating the Platform
Learn how the Datavine interface is organized — the sidebar, workspace selector, and how to find every feature.
The sidebar
The left sidebar is your primary navigation. By default it stays collapsed as a thin icon rail, giving maximum space to your content. Hover over it to expand and see full labels. Each icon represents a group of related features.
When collapsed, hovering over a group icon pops out a floating menu showing all pages in that group. Click any item to navigate directly. If you hover longer, the full sidebar expands with all groups and labels visible — just like Supabase's sidebar.
Sidebar groups
The sidebar is organized into five groups that map directly to these docs:
Your day-to-day tools for querying and visualizing data.
Dashboard, SQL Editor, Query Hub, Dashboard Builder, Data Chat
Understand, monitor, and maintain your data assets.
Data Catalog, Lineage, Profiling, Pipelines, Anomaly Detection, AI Pipeline Agent
Track BigQuery costs and understand usage patterns.
Cost Optimizer, Usage Analytics
Work together on data quality incidents and knowledge sharing. Organization workspace only.
Issue Boards, Documentation, Activity, Executions
Manage your organization, roles, and platform configuration.
Members, Teams, Permissions, Settings
Project selector
At the top of the sidebar, the project selector shows your current workspace (Personal or Organization) and the active GCP project. Click it to switch between workspaces or select a different BigQuery project. Every feature in the platform operates in the context of the selected project.
Command palette
Press Cmd/Ctrl + K anywhere in the app to open the command palette. Search for any page, feature, or action by name. It's the fastest way to navigate.
Top navigation bar
The top bar contains the search button (opens command palette), notifications bell, help button, and your user avatar. On mobile, the hamburger menu opens the full sidebar as a drawer.
Mobile navigation
On screens smaller than 1024px, the sidebar becomes a slide-out drawer triggered by the hamburger menu in the top-left. All features are accessible — the layout adapts responsively to smaller screens.
