In this guide, we'll learn how to navigate and use the SafeIdea interface after logging in. You will see how to access your projects, create new ones, start tasks, and use skills designed to make legal work easier. We will also cover how to manage documents, adjust settings, and find help or account options.

Let's get started

Let's look at the SafeIdea interface step-by-step after you log in. Start at the sidebar on the left. This sidebar gives you quick access to everything. At the top, you will see options to view projects and browse skills.

Below that, your most recent projects are easily accessible. Your account menu is located at the bottom. Click View Projects to open a grid of all your projects. Each card displays the project name, description, number of conversations, and the last update date.
