## Navigation

The side panel has four tabs at the bottom:

| Tab            | What it shows                                                           |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Links**      | All recording links in your workspace — filter, search, edit, and share |
| **Recordings** | All received recordings — filter, sort, and open in the dashboard       |
| **Create**     | Form to create a new recording link                                     |
| **Settings**   | Workspace, extension preferences, and account                           |

## Authentication and workspace

The side panel requires sign-in via the Userplane dashboard and a selected workspace. If you belong to a single workspace, it is selected automatically. Workspace switching is available from the [Settings](/integrations/chrome-extension-settings) tab.
