# Find your way in Weplanify: menu and top bar

> In Weplanify, the left menu sorts the screens into four sections, and the top bar gathers the search, the help, the notifications and your account.

- Product: Weplanify (https://weplanify.io)
- Section: Getting started
- Web page: https://weplanify.io/docs/demarrage.navigation?lang=en

In Weplanify, the left menu starts with the **Dashboard** and ends with **Settings**; in between, four sections: **People**, **Time**, **Payroll and costs** and **Requests**.

## The menu

- **People**: employees, groups, org chart, documents. **Time**: planning, time entries, leave and absences, day labourers.
- **Payroll and costs**: monthly payroll, pay elements, advances and loans, payroll statements, cost analysis, expenses. **Requests**: forms and HR requests.
- The ☰ button collapses or expands the menu. When hovering an entry, the ⋮ button offers **Rename** or **Remove from menu**; **Add**, at the bottom of a section, brings it back.

## The top bar

- The search (⌘ K or Ctrl K) finds a screen by its name.
- The **Guide** button opens the [page's help](https://weplanify.io/docs/demarrage.aide?lang=en); the bell, the notifications; then the branch choice.
- Your initials open the account menu: language, light or dark theme, settings and log out.

## Good to know

- An entry only shows if you have [access to the module](https://weplanify.io/docs/demarrage.acces-modules?lang=en); the Payroll and costs section only shows if your company runs payroll in Weplanify, and most of its screens require payroll access.
- Renaming or hiding an entry only applies to this browser.
