Short answer
Probe is organized around global pages, creation surfaces, operational surfaces, and contextual panels.
When to use this
Use this article when you are new to Probe and need to understand where work lives before opening a Studio or Manager.
Requirements
You can browse public marketing and discovery surfaces without specialized setup. Account-specific surfaces may require sign-in.
How Probe navigation is organized
Global pages help you browse and discover. Studios are for creating or comparing work. Managers are for organizing active work, schedules, files, programs, orders, or operations.
Contextual panels add support around the main page. A panel can show AI chat, discovery context, project context, notifications, or quick access without forcing you to leave the current surface.
Common problems
If you are unsure where to start, decide whether you are trying to browse, create, operate, or configure. Browse from global pages. Create in a Studio. Operate in a Manager. Configure from settings or the relevant product surface.
