# Glaze Dashboard

The dashboard is the first thing you see when you open Glaze. It's home for everything you build: your projects, the Store, and where you create a new app.

## The Sidebar

A sidebar runs down the left of the main window, with a search box at the top and three places to go:

- **My Projects** — Everything you've created. Open, edit, rename, and manage your projects from here.
- **Store** — Discover and install apps other users have shared, or browse your private Team Store.
- **Installed Apps** — Browse and manage all Glaze apps you have installed.

At the bottom of the sidebar is the **Account Menu**. Click your avatar to sign out, open **Settings**, Send Feedback, or join the Slack Community. See [Manage Account](/account/manage-account).

## My Projects

**My Projects** is where your projects live. Each project shows its icon and name, and you can view them two ways using the toggle in the toolbar:

- **List view** shows your projects in a column.
- **Grid view** lays them out as a wall of icons.

### Detail Panel

The **detail panel** gives you a full overview of an app's metadata. At the top of the detail panel is the app's icon (with a pencil button to generate or upload a new one) and its name, which you can edit in place. Below that, you will see more metadata, including:

- **Created** and **Last Edited** dates
- **Directory**: The project's folder on your Mac, which you can click to reveal in Finder
- **Visibility**: Whether the app is **Unpublished**, on the **Public Store**, **Unlisted**, or shared with a Team
- **Published Version** and **Last Published**: Shown once the app has been published to a Store.

A toolbar at the bottom of the panel holds the actions you reach for most: ** Edit App** to open Agent Chat, ** Publish**, and a ** More…** menu with other actions. For what each of these does, see [Managing Your Projects](/basics/managing-projects).

> [!NOTE]
> When you publish an app, a small status dot appears on its item entry while it's being reviewed, with states like **Draft submission**, **Review in progress**, **Review passed with warnings**, or **Review failed**. See [Publish Apps](/share/publish-apps).

## Starting a New Project

The **New Project** button sits in the toolbar, and the shortcut `⌘` `N` does the same thing from anywhere in the app. When the button or shortcut is pressed, **Agent Chat** opens where you describe the app you want and the agent creates it.

> [!TIP]
> You can also set a global **Agent Shortcut** that opens the agent even when Glaze isn't focused. See [Settings](/basics/settings).

Agent Chat opens in its own window, separate from the main Glaze window, so you can keep creating your app and the dashboard is accessible for other actions. See [Agent Chat](/prompting/agent-chat) for how the conversation works.

## Store

The **Store** is where apps are shared and discovered by other Glaze users. Browse what others have published, install something that fits what you need, or find your team's private apps in the Team Store. When you create something worth sharing, you publish it here too. See [the Store page](/share/store) and [Publish Apps](/share/publish-apps).

## Settings

Open **Settings** from the Account Menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Settings opens a separate window with tabs for **Account**, **General**, and any teams you belong to.

The **General** tab is where you set the app's theme, agent shortcut, and how the keyboard behaves while you create. See [Settings](/basics/settings). The **Account** tab covers your profile, plan, and credits. See [Manage Account](/account/manage-account).
