App navigation
After successfully logging in and selecting a project, you can move to different sections of the app using the tabs in the navigation menu, located on the left of the screen.
Roles and permissions assigned to users determine what they can see and interact with in the app. The following image shows what the app looks like to a user added to the default Editor system role:
