# Welcome to NoteMaker

NoteMaker is one workspace for your team's pages, forms, boards and AI agents. This page shows you where everything is.

![The NoteMaker workspace: the icon rail on the left, the Pages panel next to it and a page open on the right](https://thenotemaker.com/help/welcome.webp)

## The three parts of the screen

**The icon rail** is the narrow strip on the far left. It takes you to the main areas of the workspace:

-   **Home** shows the pages you open most, plus a button for today's log.
-   **Pages** opens your collections and pages.
-   **Boards** holds your boards, when your plan includes them.
-   **Forms** is where you build forms and read the answers.
-   **Agent** opens Agent Mode, the AI chat that works inside your workspace.
-   **Search** finds anything in the workspace.

At the bottom of the rail are your **Inbox**, the **Trash**, **Settings**, the light and dark **Theme** switch and your **Profile**.

**The side panel** sits next to the rail. For Pages it is the tree of your collections and pages. Settings, Agent and Profile have their own panels. Drag its right edge to make it wider, or use the small arrow at its top to hide it.

**The page** is the large area on the right, where you read and write.

## Pages, collections and fields

A **page** is a document. Pages can hold sub-pages, and you can group them in **collections**, like folders. A page can also carry **fields**, such as a status, a due date or an owner, which you see in a panel beside the text. See [🗂️ Collections and sub-pages](https://docs.thenotemaker.com/organise-and-share/collections-and-sub-pages).
