Wevion has three navigation surfaces: left sidebar, top header, and the Cmd+K command palette. Here's how each works.
Navigating Wevion — sidebar, header, command palette
Three surfaces get you anywhere: the left sidebar for main sections, the top header for workspace and account actions, and the Cmd+K command palette for fast jump-to and search.
Who is this for
Everyone who just landed in Wevion after the onboarding wizard. Spend 5 minutes here and you'll find anything later without clicking around.
The left sidebar (primary navigation)
The sidebar lists the 9 main product areas, top to bottom:
The sidebar collapses to icons on narrow screens. Press Cmd+B to toggle expanded/collapsed manually.
The top header
The header runs across the top of every page. From left to right:
- Workspace switcher: drop-down to jump between workspaces if you belong to many
- Breadcrumb: shows your path (e.g.
Ads Manager > Campaign Q4-Sales > Ad Set US-iOS) - Contextual help button (?): opens a popover with help articles relevant to the page you're on
- Search icon: opens global search (same as
Cmd+K) - Notifications bell: in-app notifications; badge shows unread count
- User menu (avatar): profile, personal settings, dark mode toggle, sign out
The contextual help button is the fastest way to find docs — it knows which page you're on and surfaces the right articles. See also Set up notifications for the bell behaviors.
The command palette (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K)
Press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux from anywhere in the app. A search dialog opens centered on the screen. Type to:
- Jump to a page: type
launch→ press Enter to go to /launch - Search a campaign: type the campaign name, or prefix with
#to search campaigns directly - Jump to a section: prefix with
@for navigation,>or/for commands - Filter results: use operators
scope:,status:, andaccount:(for examplestatus:active) - Run an action: type
pause→ list of pause actions you can run on selected campaigns
Use arrow keys to navigate the results, Enter to activate. Esc to close.
This is the power-user surface. Spend 1 day using Cmd+K instead of clicking and you'll never go back.
Useful keyboard shortcuts
Full shortcut list: press ? anywhere in the app.
Workspaces
Wevion's data model separates Organization, Workspace, and Team, and data is fully isolated per workspace. Multi-workspace setups (common for agencies and holding companies) are provisioned through enterprise onboarding rather than a self-serve create/switch UI. See Workspace, Team, Account — what's the difference for the full model.
Mobile and responsive
Wevion is desktop-first. The web app works on tablets (sidebar collapses to icons). On phones, most pages render but are not optimized for thumb use. We recommend a 13" or larger screen for daily work.
What you'll see
The dashboard layout never changes structurally:
- Sidebar fixed left (collapsed or expanded by your preference)
- Header fixed top (workspace, breadcrumb, search, bell, avatar)
- Main content area scrolls
- Toast notifications appear bottom right
If sections look different from the descriptions above, you may be on an older cached build — press Cmd+Shift+R to hard-refresh.
FAQ
How do I open the command palette in Wevion?
Press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux from anywhere in the app. A search dialog opens where you can jump to a page, search a campaign (prefix #) or a section (prefix @), filter with operators like status:active, or run an action like pause. Arrow keys navigate, Enter activates, Esc closes.
What are the three navigation surfaces in Wevion?
Wevion has three navigation surfaces: the left sidebar for the main product areas, the top header for workspace and account actions, and the Cmd+K command palette for fast jump-to and search. The sidebar covers Dashboard, Launch, Campaign Creator, Ads Manager, Rules, Creative Hub, Analytics, Wavo, Connect, and Settings.
How do I open Wavo, the AI assistant?
Wavo lives in the sidebar, and you can jump to it fast with the G then T keyboard shortcut. Open it and ask your question there — for example "how do I scale a winning ad set?". The command palette (Cmd+K) is for jumping to pages, searching campaigns, and running actions rather than chatting with Wavo.
How do I collapse or expand the sidebar?
Press Cmd+B to toggle the sidebar between expanded and collapsed manually. The sidebar also collapses to icons automatically on narrow screens. Other shortcuts include Cmd+/ for contextual help on the current page and G then D, C, A, or R to jump to Home, Ads Manager, Analytics, or Rules.
Does Wevion work on mobile devices?
Wevion is desktop-first. The web app works on tablets, where the sidebar collapses to icons, and most pages render on phones but aren't optimized for thumb use. For daily work Wevion recommends a 13-inch or larger screen so the dashboard, Ads Manager, and command palette stay comfortable.
