Search, navigate and run actions with the Power Bar
The Power Bar lets you find documents, jump to a page or run an action from anywhere in your workspace, without going through menus.
Before you start
Anyone with access to the workspace can use the Power Bar.
To open it with Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on a Mac), your Workspace Manager must switch on Open the Power Bar with Ctrl+K in this workspace under Manage Workspace Settings > Look & Feel. If the shortcut does nothing, ask your Workspace Manager to enable it.
Steps
- Open the Power Bar. Click Search or go to... at the top of the screen, or press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on a Mac). A search box opens over the page you are on, showing actions you can run and places you can go.

- Type to find what you need. Start typing a document name, folder, page or action. Matching documents, folders, chronologies, pages and actions appear as you type. The commands you use most often rise to the top.

- Select a result. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to move through the list, then press Enter to open the highlighted item. To see more results, select See more at the bottom of a section.

What happens next
- A document opens in the viewer on the page you are on.
- A page or folder takes you there.
- An action runs immediately, or asks you to confirm first if it changes something.
- Press Esc to close the Power Bar without doing anything.
Good to know
- Press Tab on a result to see actions you can take on that item, such as adding labels or moving it. Press Esc to go back.
- If you have documents ticked on the page, the Power Bar shows actions for your selection first.
- Actions that could change or delete something only appear once you start typing, and are always listed last.
- To switch to another workspace, type its name. To switch site, type "switch site".
