# User Interface Reference

> Navigation bar and sample context menu

## Overview

## Navigation Bar

The navigation bar at the top of the app provides access to all major features.

### Main Navigation

* **AI Assistant** — chat-based sample discovery and production help
* **Library** — your full collection with search, filters, Sound Profile, and the Map, Circle, and Scatter views
* **Settings** — directories, processing, AI, billing, account

### Title Bar Controls

* **Workspace Selector** — switch between workspaces; the active workspace's BPM and key are applied to playback automatically
* **Directory Drawer** — folder icon opens the [File Browser](/core-features/file-browser) with your configured sample directories
* **System Status** — opens the **Library status** panel showing per-stage processing counts (**Total**, **Analyzed**, **Classified**, **Uploaded**, **Enriched**, **Embedded**, plus **Failed** when relevant), cloud sync state, and the most recent entries from the [Activity Log](/reference/settings#activity-log). Includes a pause/resume control and Analysis Speed slider while processing is active. See [Adding & Managing Samples](/get-started/adding-samples#monitoring-progress) for what each stage unlocks
* **Subscription Info** — current plan and a low-pool indicator. Click to open Billing & Usage
* **Help & feedback** — single dialog for docs, changelog, shortcuts, bug reports, feature requests, and Discord (`Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+/`)

### Playback Controls

* **Link** — enables [Ableton Link](/core-features/link-tempo-key#ableton-link) and auto-enables Tempo Lock
* **Tempo Lock** — time-stretches every sample with detected tempo to a global BPM
* **Key Lock** — transposes every sample with a detected key to a target key

See [Link, Tempo and Key Lock](/core-features/link-tempo-key) for details.

### Window Controls

* **Pin Window** — keeps Sample Vault on top of other applications. The navigation bar becomes more compact when pinned
* **Drag handle** — when pinned, drag the grip in the center of the navigation bar to move the window
* **Resize** — works like any other window, pinned or not

## Sample Context Menu

Right-click any sample anywhere in the app for the full action set.

### Sample management

* **Sample Info** — full metadata, tags, technical details
* **Edit Sample** — modify metadata (only on samples you uploaded or as admin)
* **Quick property editors** — change **Key**, **Scale**, **Tempo**, **Creator**, **Sample pack**, **Type** (loop/one-shot), or **Category** without opening the full editor. Creator and Sample pack open a searchable picker; Tempo suggests your library's most common BPMs
* **Tags / Genres** — add/remove dialogs that mirror the Sample Info picker. Right-click any chip in the filter rail or Sample Info pane to **Rename** or **Delete** it across your whole library
* **Classify sample** — re-run AI audio tagging without redoing local analysis
* **Add/Remove from Favorites**
* **Copy to Clipboard** — copy the file for pasting into your DAW
* **Open File Location** — jump to the sample's folder on disk or in the Library

### AI actions

* **Discovery** — Find similar samples, What genre is this, Suggest complementary samples
* **Creative** — Create a beat using this, Suggest arrangement ideas, Help me layer this
* **Analysis** — Analyze the musical characteristics, What key is this in, Describe the mood

### Collections

* **Add/Remove from Collection** — drop into custom collections
