# Navigating Q-Remix

Q-Remix offers a thoughtfully organized user interface that empowers developers, auditors, and creators to work efficiently within a modular, AI-assisted development environment. Here’s a breakdown of the core areas of the interface:

#### Icon Panel

Located on the far left, the **Icon Panel** acts as the primary navigation bar.

* Click on any icon to open its corresponding plugin in the Side Panel.
* You can customize which plugins appear here by enabling/disabling them via the Plugin Manager.
* Hovering reveals tooltips, ensuring discoverability for new users.

#### Side Panel

This is where most plugin interfaces live.

* Interact with plugins such as the File Explorer, Compiler, Deployer, and AI Assistant.
* Plugin UIs are compact, collapsible, and modular, making it easy to switch tasks.
* Some plugins (like AI Chat or Analytics) may expand into the Main Panel instead.

#### Main Panel

The core workspace for interacting with your project.

* Edit Solidity contracts, view files, or open plugins with extended UIs (like visual debuggers or deployment dashboards).
* Also includes tabs for the **Home Page**, live previews, and AI-generated outputs.
* Supports multiple tabs and panes for multitasking.

#### Terminal

Positioned at the bottom of the screen.

* Displays **transaction receipts**, **compilation output**, **console logs**, and **warnings**.
* Integrated with the Debugger for step-by-step tracing of failed transactions.
* You can resize or detach the terminal for a cleaner view.

### Home Tab

The **Home Page** serves as your landing space when Q-Remix launches.\
It includes:

* Quick links to Q-Remix and Quranium’s social media and documentation.
* Options to explore featured plugins, clone templates, or browse pre-built DApp prototypes.
* Access to **recent workspaces**, tutorials, and onboarding walkthroughs.

### Default Tools

When Q-Remix loads for the first time, the following tools and plugins are active in the Icon Panel by default:

* **File Explorer** – Manage files and folders in your smart contract project.
* **Solidity Compiler** – Compile contracts with selectable compiler versions.
* **Deployer** – Deploy contracts to testnets or local simulators.
* **AI Assistant** – Interact with the built-in AI to generate, refactor, or debug code.
* **Terminal** – View logs and interact with the runtime output.

> You can always add or remove tools by clicking the Plugin Manager icon at the bottom of the Icon Panel.
