A sidebar view shows a smaller set of pages in the sidebar. Pick the view that matches your work, and the rest of Slate moves under More.

​
Why It Matters

The pages you use every day stay in view without scrolling, even on a small laptop screen.

​
Where to Find It

The chip under your workspace logo shows the current view, for example AEO. Click it to open Show the sidebar for, then pick a view.

​
The Views

The menu lists only the views you can use in this workspace. All is always there.

​
More

In AEO and Ads, More holds every page the view doesn’t show. The pages keep the same groups as in All: Insights, Work, Automate, and Assets. While one of these pages is open, More stays highlighted. To go back to the full sidebar, click Switch to All at the bottom of More.

​
Which View You Start On

  • On the Launch plan, the sidebar starts on AEO.
  • On every other plan, it starts on All.
The bottom of the menu names your plan’s starting view, for example “Your plan starts on AEO.” When you pick a view, Slate saves it for you in that workspace, and it follows you to other devices. Each workspace keeps its own view, and each teammate picks their own.

​
Small Screens

When the window is too short for the whole sidebar, the labels under the icons hide. Hover an icon to see its name.

​
Tips

  • Every page is still in reach. Links, Search (⌘K), and Home open any page, whichever view you’re on.
  • Paths in these docs use the All view, for example Insights → AI Visibility. In AEO, AI Visibility sits in the sidebar itself. In Ads, it’s under More → Insights.
  • Don’t see Ads? The Ads view shows only in workspaces where the Ads page is available to you.
  • Don’t see AEO? It needs access to at least one of AI Visibility, Keywords, or Opportunities. Ask a workspace admin about your role.
