# Understand the Kuvera Arc Interface and Navigation

> Get familiar with the three main areas of the Kuvera Arc interface — the sidebar, top bar, and content area — so you can work efficiently.

Kuvera Arc uses a centralized workspace that keeps your business tools, records, and modules within easy reach. Understanding the interface layout helps you navigate confidently, find what you need quickly, and manage daily operations without friction.

## Interface layout

The Kuvera Arc screen is divided into three main areas.

## Left navigation panel

The left navigation panel is the primary way to move between major areas of Kuvera Arc. It stays fixed on screen regardless of which module you are working in and shows your branch name at the top for quick context.

## Main content area

The main content area displays the module or section selected from the sidebar. It changes dynamically as you navigate through Kuvera Arc.

<Frame caption="Main content area">

Depending on the active module, the main content area lets you:

* View dashboard summaries and business metrics
* Browse and manage inventory records
* Create and track purchase and sales documents
* Review financial accounts and reports
* Configure system settings and preferences

<Tip>
  Use the fixed sidebar for module navigation and the top bar for system-wide tools. Together, they give you full control of business operations from one consistent workspace.
