Learn how to navigate around BLACKBIRD Pentesting Suite

### Main Sections

Your screen is divided into 3 main sections. Your **left-hand side navigation bar**, your **top navigation bar**, and your **right-hand side help bar**.

**1. The left-hand side navigation bar**
This navigation bar can help you quickly move around and open the tools you need.

### Tool Menu

To make it even easier to easily switch between tools, we've introduced a customizable **Tool Menu**.

This Tool Menu can be located at your top navigation bar (next to your search bar). Opening the menu will present you with quick access to your most favorite tools.

<Tip>
  Marking the tool as favorite will make them appear in the left side navigation bar under "Most Used" section.
