# Navigating Between the Editor and Dashboard

Fater has two main interfaces you'll interact with:

1. **The Dashboard:** Your central hub for managing all your projects, your organization, and account settings.
2. **The Editor:** The detailed workspace where you actively work on a *single* project's layers, assets, videos, and AI features.

You'll frequently move between these two views. Here's how:

***

### Moving from Dashboard to Editor

This happens automatically when you decide to work on a specific project.

1. From the **Dashboard**, find the project you want to work on in the **Project Card grid** ("My Projects" or "Favourites" tab).
2. **Open the project** by either:
   * Hovering over the Project Card and clicking the **"Open" button/icon**.
   * **Double-clicking** the Project Card.
3. The Fater Editor will load, displaying the content and tools for that specific project.

*(See* [Opening an Existing Project](/fater-ai-docs/opening-an-existing-project.md) *for more details)*

### Moving from Editor to Dashboard

When you are finished working on a specific project in the Editor and want to return to manage other projects or settings:

1. Locate the **Global Sidebar** positioned on the far left edge of the Editor screen.
2. Click the **Menu** icon (☰) at the very top of this sidebar.
3. A small menu will appear. Select the **"Back to Dashboard"** option. *(Placeholder: Add screenshot)*
4. You will be taken back to your main Fater Dashboard, likely showing the "My Projects" view.

*(Remember: Your work in the editor is saved automatically, so you typically don't need to perform a manual save action before returning to the Dashboard.)*
