Navigation and Learn
The sidebar is the main navigation for authenticated Navaid. Its content changes with the active company, your role, company history, and system feature flags.
Standard navigation
Most users see:
- Dashboard
- Sessions
- Tasks
- Maturity Map
- Progression
- Competitor Analysis
- Settings
Manager, Admin, Consultant, and System Admin roles also see Company. System Admins see System Admin.
Eligible multi-company users see Overview above Dashboard.
New Session action
A brand-new company starts its first conversation from the Dashboard. After the account has session history, a prominent New Session action appears directly below Dashboard in the sidebar.
You can also start from:
- the Sessions page;
- the Maturity Map's focused-session links;
- Dashboard; or
- Aida navigation, when enabled.
Company header
The top of the sidebar shows:
- active company logo or initials;
- company name; and
- your role in that company.
When you have multiple active memberships—or permission to create a company—select the header to open the company picker. Switching reloads the application in the new company context.
Learn
Learn opens the in-app guide. It automatically opens once per user on first authenticated use and remains available from the sidebar.
Its sections cover:
- how the Assess → Understand → Act loop works;
- the 15-dimension maturity model;
- three rings;
- five levels;
- product tools;
- how assessment works;
- privacy; and
- what Navaid can and cannot do.
Select links in Your tools to go directly to product pages. Select Got it — let's go or Close when finished.
Some short Learn descriptions simplify the product. For example, a session does not guarantee a fixed number of tasks, and marking a task complete does not directly force a maturity transition. The detailed guides describe current behaviour.
Feedback
Feedback opens a modal for submitting a bug report or feature request and for reviewing My Reports. See Feedback and My Reports.
Language
When multilingual support is available, a compact language selector appears near the bottom of the sidebar. See Languages.
User area and sign out
The bottom user row shows your avatar or initials, name, and email. Select the sign-out icon to end the current authenticated session and return to the public site.
Collapse and mobile navigation
On desktop:
- Select Hide sidebar near the Navaid logo to collapse it.
- Use Show menu in the slim top bar to restore it.
- The hidden state is a per-device preference and survives sign-out.
On smaller screens:
- use the menu button at the upper left;
- select a destination to close the drawer; or
- select the close control or outside overlay.
Notification badges
Sessions can display a numeric badge when new group-session invitations or participation records need attention. Open Sessions to inspect the group cards.
Feature-gated items
Some tools are present only when enabled:
- Overview
- group sessions
- voice
- group voice
- Aida
- multilingual UI
- MCP external-AI connector
- Prospect Radar
System Admins can often access gated surfaces for administration or verification even when ordinary users cannot. See Feature Availability and Troubleshooting.
Keyboard and accessibility
- The main layout includes a Skip to main content link for keyboard users.
- Settings tabs support arrow, Home, and End keys.
- Dialogs and interactive maps provide labelled controls.
- In a conversation, Enter sends and Shift+Enter adds a line.
Troubleshooting
A navigation item is missing
Check the active company and role first. Then ask a System Admin whether its feature flag is enabled.
The wrong company opens
Use the company picker and wait for the full reload. Do not create new content until the correct company name is visible.
The sidebar remains hidden after signing in again
That is expected: it is stored as a device preference. Select Show menu.
