# Search and Navigation

### Overview

Search is fastest when location is unknown. Navigation is fastest when Organization and Project context is known.

### Key Concepts

* **Global Search**: cross-scope search for items
* **Breadcrumbs**: scope navigation (Account → Organization → Project)
* **Left navigation**: area navigation inside a scope
* **Save View**: stored view configuration for repeatable lists

### How It’s Used

Use this workflow for daily navigation. It reduces time spent searching across scope boundaries.

### Benefits

* Faster retrieval of work items and decisions
* Reduced errors caused by working in the wrong Project
* Repeatable “review lists” through Save Views

### Setup Steps

#### Common workflow

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Find the item

Start with Global Search.

Add filters when results are noisy.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm scope

Use breadcrumbs to confirm Organization and Project.

{% endstep %}

### Save the route back

Create a Save View for repeatable review lists.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Best Practices

* Use Global Search for cross-Project discovery.
* Use Save Views for daily review lists.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transform.ai/getting-started/search-and-navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
