Sidebar

The Workjet sidebar is a collapsible navigation strip on the left edge of the workspace. At rest, it displays as a narrow 44px icon column. On hover, it expands to reveal labels and inline sub-items for quick access to every feature.

Collapsed State

In its default collapsed state, the sidebar shows icons for each top-level section:

  • Weblinks
  • Connectors
  • Assistants
  • Engines
  • Skills
  • Settings

Clicking any icon opens the corresponding tab. Hovering over the sidebar expands it to full width, showing labels alongside the icons.

Expanded State

When expanded (on hover or toggled with Ctrl/Cmd + B), the sidebar shows:

  • Section headers: Clickable headings that open the section's main view
  • Sub-items: Individual connectors, assistants, and engines listed directly under their section icon
  • Status indicators: Green/yellow/red dots showing connection or run status
  • Collapsible sections: Each section can be independently expanded or collapsed
