Navigating Aide

Aide has a clean three-panel layout built around conversation. Here’s a map of every area so you know where everything is.

Layout Overview

Area	Location	What it contains
Sidebar	Left	Conversation history, new chat button
Main area	Centre	Active chat conversation
Tools panel	Right	Calculator, board, document editor
Top navigation	Top	Links to Campus, Canvas, Awards, profile
Input bar	Bottom	Message input, file upload, voice, tools menu

Sidebar

The left sidebar lists all your past conversations. From here you can:

• Click any conversation to load it
• Start a New Chat from the button at the top
• Delete a specific conversation
• Clear your entire history

Conversations are listed with their auto-generated title and most recent timestamp.

Main Chat Area

The centre of the screen is the active conversation. When you first open Aide with no conversation selected, a welcome screen appears with quick-action buttons:

Quick Action	What it does
Upload	Open the file upload modal
Board	Open the drawing pad in the tools panel
Calculator	Open the calculator in the tools panel
Document	Switch to document creation mode
Experts	Go to the AI Experts page

Input Bar

The input bar at the bottom is where you type messages. It also contains:

• File upload button — attach a file to your message
• Voice input button — dictate your message by speaking
• Tools menu — open the calculator, board, or document editor
• Send button — submit your message (or press Ctrl + Enter)

Tools Panel

The right-side tools panel opens when you activate a tool (calculator, board, or document editor). It sits alongside the chat so you can use both simultaneously.
