How do I navigate the Studio (sidebar + command palette)?
TL;DR: Use the left sidebar to move between Home, playbooks, and builder tools. Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open the command palette for quick search, creation shortcuts, and jumping to settings. Members see a shorter sidebar focused on chat and playbooks.
