# 1.2 Main navigation

> Top-level project structure and switching thinking mode

Main navigation is\
the **top-level structure** of the project\
on the left side of the screen.

It’s not just a way to move around.\
It’s the **constant reference** for the project’s structure.

***

## What it contains

Main navigation includes:

* Project home
* Graph
* Tasks
* Notes
* Bookmarks
* Projects (section group)

Each item is a different **kind of work**.

***

## What main navigation does

### Keeps structure visible

Main navigation always shows\
how the current project is organized:

* Which project you’re in
* Which structure layer you’re viewing
* What the higher context is

That doesn’t disappear while you work.

***

### Switches work mode

Moving inside a document\
and using main navigation\
are different.

For example:

* You’re writing → you go to Graph to check connections
* You’re in structure → you go to Tasks to check progress
* You finish a task → you go back to the document

That’s not just switching files;\
it’s **switching thinking level**.

***

### Chooses perspective

Each item is a different perspective:

* Project home → overview of the whole project
* Graph → connection-focused view
* Tasks → execution-focused view
* Notes → supporting notes view

Main navigation is less\
“where do I go?”\
and more **“what perspective am I working in?”**

***

## Main idea

Main navigation is\
not a menu to find files.

It’s how you\
**adjust the scope of your thinking** inside the project.

The left side is always structure.\
And that structure is Pensiv’s anchor.
