Home & Subjects
Home is the first screen you see when you open Mesh - a shelf of your subjects. A subject is one broad area of study, like Math, and it holds the workspaces where you do the work.
Two containers, one holds the other
Mesh keeps your study in just two nested things: a subject is the broad area, and a workspace is one focused room inside it, where the board, Mesh, and your materials live together. A subject can hold as many workspaces as you like.
- Subject
- A broad area, like Math - a colored container that groups related workspaces.
- Workspace
- One room for one thing you're working through, like Geometry - it holds the board, Mesh, and all your materials.
Your path always reads the same way, left to right: Home, then the subject, then the workspace. That trail sits at the top of every workspace, so you always know where you are.
The home screen
Your subjects fill the middle of the screen; a rail down the left is your shortcut back into any of them from anywhere. Pick a subject to open it and see the workspaces inside.
Make a subject
Choose at the top of the Subjects list, then name it and pick a color. That color is how you'll recognize the subject at a glance - it follows it everywhere, as a small dot beside its name.
- Choose next to Subjects in the left rail.
- Type a name in Subject Name - say Math.
- Pick one of the color swatches.
- Choose Create Subject, and it lands on your shelf.
Card view or list view
A toggle at the top right switches your shelf between two layouts and remembers your choice. Card view shows each subject as a roomy tile with its color and workspace count; list view packs them into tidy rows. In either view, drag a subject up or down to set the order.
Find a subject by name
A search box sits in every top bar, even inside a workspace. Start typing and it jumps you to any subject or workspace by name - arrow keys move through the matches, Enter opens the one you're on.
It matches names only. To search inside your materials - notes, files, images, or chat - open a panel and use its own search, or the picker.
The left rail
The rail is your shortcut into any work, without going back to the shelf first.
- Subjects lists every subject you've made - expand one with its chevron to see the workspaces inside, then click straight through.
- Recents keeps the workspaces you opened most recently within reach, each tagged with its subject's color.
Your profile sits at the very bottom - open your Settings & account from there.
Open a subject
Click a subject and it opens to its own shelf of workspaces - square tiles, each with a big ghosted first letter and its name below. A brand-new subject shows Create your first workspace with a button to make one. Every tile has a quiet corner menu with Rename Workspace and Delete Workspace.
Tip Give each subject a distinct color when you make it - it's the fastest way to spot the right one on a full shelf and in the breadcrumb.
