The interface
Find your way around the sidebar, library, tabs, and right-hand panel.
Anara has three areas: a left sidebar for navigation, a main area for your library and open files, and a right sidebar where chat and file details live.
Left sidebar
- Workspace name: switch workspaces or open workspace settings.
- Create: start a new Agent chat, a note, or a folder.
- Home: quick actions and recently opened items.
- Library: every document, note, and imported item.
- Search: find anything in your library by title, content, or metadata.
- Chats: your past Agent chats.
- Folders: your folder tree, split into Private, Team, and Shared.
- Trash: deleted files, chats, and folders, recoverable for 30 days.
- Usage and Support: at the bottom, your usage meter and ways to contact us.
Library
The library is a table. Each row is a file, with columns such as title, authors, date added, full text status, file type, summary, tags, and reading progress. Use Filter, Sort, and Display in the toolbar, and select rows with checkboxes to move, tag, export, or delete several files at once. See Organize your library.
Tabs
Every file, note, and chat you open gets its own tab, so you can keep several open and switch without losing your place.
Right sidebar
Open the Agent button in the top right to chat from anywhere. When a file or note is open, the right sidebar also has tabs for that item:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Ask | A chat anchored to this file or folder |
| Notes | Notes linked to the document |
| Details | Metadata, AI summary, abstract, and a formatted citation |
| Annotations | Every highlight and comment in the PDF |
| History | Saved versions of a note |
Collapse the sidebar with the toggle on the right edge of the viewer when you want more room to read.
