Find your way around
Start by checking the workspace name in the top bar. The same account can belong to several workspaces; switching changes the content you work with.

Actual dtxWiki screen with fictional demo data. Item names can differ from the walkthrough. Context screen with the left navigation, page explorer, main reader, and Details panel.
Choose the area for your task
| I want to… | Open | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| See what is happening | Dashboard | Counts, recent activity, and first-use steps. |
| Keep a reference file | Library | Source files, extracted views, processing information, and versions. |
| Write the team's explanation | Context | Pages, folders, links, publication, and page history. |
| Give an AI client reusable instructions | Agent | Instruction pages and their drafts, active versions, and bundle records. |
| Understand an external AI tool's work | Chats | MCP tool activity and the items it touched. |
| Ask about workspace evidence | Ask | In-app question sessions, answers, and cited evidence. |
| Check a proposed change | Review queue | Pending reviews and changes requested. |
| Find existing material | Search | Results from workspace content within your access. |
| Follow workspace events | Activity | Changes, reviews, tool activity, and jobs. |
| Examine formatting findings | Lint queue | Findings about document structure and formatting. |
| Manage workspace or connections | Settings | Controls available to your role. |
Library is the source; Context is the explanation. For the Product Launch exercise, upload the launch brief to Library and write the team's current plan in Context. Updating a reference file does not automatically rewrite an approved Context page.
Read the screen
Many content screens use three areas:
- Explorer or list: choose a folder or item.
- Reader: view the selected content and its tabs, such as View and History.
- Details: check properties, versions, citations, or links.
Hide or reopen panels using their controls. On a narrow screen, navigation and details may open as a drawer or sheet. If a tab is marked Preview, its behavior is still being refined; if it says unavailable, use the main reader or list.
The top bar's search opens workspace search. The Create menu offers entry points such as a new Context page or Ask session. A missing action often reflects your role, not missing content.
Follow a link safely
- An internal workspace link requires sign-in and access to that workspace.
- A public page link opens the separate read-only published page.
- A page's History shows content versions. These numbers, such as
v3, are page revisions, not the dtxWiki software version0.1.2. - Chats and Ask serve different purposes: external tool provenance versus in-app questions.
Common navigation problems
“I opened a link but cannot see the page.” Check the account and selected workspace. Request membership from the Owner if necessary. A link does not grant membership.
“An old tab stopped loading after an update.” Use Load the latest version or reload the page. If you were editing, first preserve any text still visible locally.
“I cannot find Chats or a create button.” Some areas and actions require Editor or Owner access. Ask your Owner which role you need.
Next: Your first workspace, sharing, or Search and Ask.
