# Search and Navigation

Find work fast with Global Search, filters, and saved shortcuts.

### 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
