# Workspaces and navigation

> Sign in to Helix Foundry, choose or create a workspace, and find your way with the sidebar, search and themes

<div className="flex flex-wrap gap-2"><Badge color="blue" size="sm">Guide</Badge></div>

Use this page to sign in, move between workspaces and get around Foundry quickly.
Foundry's workspaces are your Helix Cloud workspaces: the same names, members and
roles.

## Sign in

Continue with Google, GitHub or Microsoft. Foundry signs you in with your Helix
account, so use the same provider you use for Helix Cloud.

Password and single sign-on sign-ins aren't offered on Foundry yet. If your company
signs in with single sign-on, Foundry says so; use the
[Helix dashboard](https://helix-db.com/login) instead. If your email isn't verified
with the provider, verify it there or continue with another provider.

## Choose or create a workspace

With one workspace, Foundry opens it. With several, or none, it opens the workspace
picker. Select a workspace to open it, or **Create workspace** to start one. A new
workspace starts on Foundry Free.

To switch later, use the workspace menu at the top of the sidebar. Foundry remembers
the workspace you chose in this browser.

## Home

Home says where the workspace stands: its connections and synced tables, its
ontologies, its members and its plan. Each card links to the page that changes it.

## Search with the command palette

Press <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> on Windows and Linux) to
search pages, synced tables and ontologies. Owners and admins also get **Add data** and
**Create an ontology** there.

## Account menu and theme

Select your name at the foot of the sidebar for Settings, Members, Plan & billing, the
theme and **Sign out**. Choose **System**, **Light** or **Dark**; Foundry keeps the
choice in this browser.

## Workspace settings

**Settings** → **General** shows the workspace's name, address, region and your role.
Rename or delete a workspace in the Helix dashboard; Foundry shares it with Helix Cloud.
