Navigation & page layout
Every page outside this documentation shares the same frame: a dark navigation rail down the left and a top bar across the top. Here’s what each part does.
The shell
The left rail moves you between sections; the top bar holds search and your account tools. (Shown signed in as a maintainer.)

- 1Left navigation — Grouped into Browse (open to everyone — Home, Components, PCBs, Base Pedals, Manufacturers, Search), Workshop (your Build Gallery, Favorites, Cart, Parts, Inventory, Builds), and Staff (Maintainer / Admin). You only see the groups your account unlocks, and the current page is highlighted. On a phone it collapses behind a menu button.
- 2Search — Type a part number to jump to the reverse-lookup Search page.
- 3Docs — Opens this documentation — always one click away.
- 4Inventory badges — Live counts — PARTS (parts in your inventory), PCBS (blank boards on hand), and BUILDS (your builds). They stay at 0 until you’re a Premium member with stock.
- 5Notifications — The bell; a red number flags unread replies, @mentions, and announcements.
- 6Account — Signed out this is Sign in / Register; signed in it’s your avatar and name, with a menu to Account settings, your public profile, and sign out.
