Tour of the workspace

Time to name the parts of the screen. Later pages will say on the Home tab and expect you to know where that is. The Workspace covers the same ground in depth when you need the detail.

Quick Access bar and ribbon

The narrow strip at the very top is Quick Access: New, Save As, Export .leaf, Import, Share, then Undo and Redo after a divider. The worksheet name sits in the middle. Click it and type to rename the sheet. Sidebar rows open or delete a sheet; they do not rename it. Sign In, or your initials once you are signed in, sits at the right.

Below that, the ribbon groups every command onto tabs. Switching tabs changes nothing about the sheet. Click through them once so you know what lives where.

Tab	What lives there
Home	File (New, Save As, Export, Import), Evaluate, clipboard and undo, the unit system, user settings, Community, and Help.
Math	Algebra and comparison operators, matrices and vectors, functions, constants, units, Greek symbols, and Given/solve blocks.
Insert	Math, Text, List, Sweep, Summary, Line (a separator rule), Picture, 2D Frame, and 3D Frame.
Text	Fonts, paragraphs, styles, numbered section headings, and find and replace.
Math Format	Result format, decimals, thresholds, calc numbers, and variable find and replace.
Plots	Line, area, scatter, and bar charts, polar plots, and 3D surfaces.
Document	Paper theme, grid, format lock, zoom, margins, print, and headers and footers.
Review	Reviewer, Markup, and Decision. Hidden until you own the sheet or are its reviewer, and you are on a team.

The Help group on Home is the one to remember: Community, the in-app Getting Started tour, video Tutorials, Examples, and User Guide, which opens these pages.

Canvas

The canvas is the page itself. Regions sit at a position and size you control. Click one to select it. Drag its body to move it. Drag a handle to resize. Positions snap to the grid.

Click empty paper once and you get a new math region, or you deselect if something was already selected. Double-click empty paper and you get a text region. Scroll vertically to move between pages. Zoom lives on the Document tab and in the status bar, from 50% to 200%. It changes only what you see, not the printed page.

Sheets sidebar

The left sidebar has three tabs: Sheets, Snippets, and, if you belong to one, Team. Sheets lists your worksheets and folders, with a collapsible Templates block underneath for signed-in users. The star on a template makes it the one offered first when you create a new sheet.

Two more panels live on the right-hand edge for later: Sections, for jumping between numbered headings, and AI, for creating, editing, or reviewing a sheet from a prompt.

Unit system and status bar

Every worksheet has a unit system: SI, USCS, or CGS. Set it from Units on the Home ribbon. It governs how answers are displayed, not the numbers you typed. A length entered as 4 m stays four metres. A USCS sheet shows you the equivalent in feet. The status bar along the bottom repeats the current unit system, counts the regions on the sheet, holds a padlock for format lock, and holds the zoom controls.

That is enough of the map. Next, open an example calculation, or branch off into the detail: ribbon tabs, canvas, zoom, and grid, and sheets and folders.
