# Main Window Layout

## <mark style="color:red;">Top Menu</mark>

![](https://1013683115-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FHecEAvxd6Z8cSug6DhWr%2Fuploads%2F8kRjOc3kRZ6wkSjqfAVk%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=795b5b0e-7485-48dc-aee9-bb9e196e193a)

The Top Menu contains items associated with your account and not tied to a specific Engagement. These features, such as the [Shells Library](/user-libraries/shells-library.md) and [General Command Library](/user-libraries/general-command-library.md) will load into the Main Content Section when you are in an Engagement. This way you don't have to leave the Engagement to access your User Items.

## <mark style="color:purple;">User Menu</mark>

Your Account Settings, Membership Settings and several library managers are accessible from the top right User Menu.&#x20;

## <mark style="color:green;">Sidebar</mark>

The Sidebar lays out all of the Engagement's Hosts and Services for quick navigation.
