# Interface reference

## Main navigation

| Control | Opens |
| --- | --- |
| **New Project** | Project intake and planning. |
| **Marvin Atlas** | Literature, dataset, trial, and regulatory evidence search. |
| **Targets** | Ranked target tables for diseases, target profiles, and the shared catalog. Not on the Free plan. |
| **Workflows** | Built-in and saved workflows. |
| **Search projects** | Projects whose name or ID contains the search text. |
| **All Projects** | The full project list, filters, sorting, and recently deleted projects. |
| Your name or avatar | Opens account **Settings** for your profile, plan and billing, integrations, model providers, notifications, experimental features, and system status. |
| **Docs** | Marvin documentation. |
| **Support** | Email support. |
| **Report a bug** | A bug-report form. |

The sidebar shows recent owned projects and projects under **Shared with me**. Use **Collapse sidebar** or **Expand sidebar** to switch between the full sidebar and its icon rail. On narrower windows, the sidebar opens as the icon rail.

## Project views

| View | Use it to |
| --- | --- |
| **Overview** | Read the current objectives, assessment, metrics, and review items. |
| **Threads** | Follow research questions and Methods & Reasoning accounts across iterations. |
| **Reports** | Read the final report or an iteration summary. Select a finding reference to inspect its recorded source beside the report. |
| **Project Explorer** | Inspect findings, hypotheses, experiments, decisions, ruled-out work, relationships, and VERA reports. |
| **Literature** | Read papers and their links to project findings. This tab appears for Literature and Full projects. |
| **Data** | Browse experiment files, research documents, uploads, and outputs. |
| **Activity** | Switch between live run events and earlier run history. |
| **Settings** | Edit project settings and review learned skills. Owners can also move the project to Trash. |

A Targets project has no **Threads**, **Reports** or **Project Explorer**, and no **Search this project**: its Overview links to its table once one is built. The project-tab row scrolls horizontally when the window is narrow.

## Project header

## Project status

| **Finished** | The last run ended the way it was set up to: Marvin concluded the research, or the run reached its limit. |
