# Navigation

## Side Navigation Overview

The side navigation in Cloudscaff is your main workspace control panel. It provides quick access to all key modules — from your profile and company branches to site and inventory management, logs, and reports.

You can collapse or expand the side navigation by clicking the **hamburger icon (☰)** in the top-left corner.\
This helps maximize workspace on smaller screens like tablets or laptops.

The **User Profile** section allows you to manage your personal information and account details within Cloudscaff. Keeping your profile up to date ensures accurate communication, clear identification on reports and logs, and a personalized app experience.
