- Toolbar Menu: This is where you search, check your Tasks (tick box) and Notifications (bell), and access your profile (by clicking on your avatar).
The Search bar will search across the entire platform, and show you results matching your search terms.
The "?" button will take you to the Op Central knowledge base (where you are right now!).
