tip

The Command Menu (K) is the fastest way to navigate. Start typing to search for pages, actions, or settings.

Command Menu

The Command Menu provides universal search across:

  • Pages - Navigate to any page
  • Actions - Quick actions (create, export, etc.)
  • Settings - Configuration options
  • Help - Documentation and support

Using Command Menu

  1. Press K to open
  2. Start typing your query
  3. Use arrow keys to select
  4. Press Enter to navigate

Tables and Data Views

Most modules use consistent table patterns:

Table Features

  • Search - Filter by text across columns
  • Filters - Dropdown filters for specific fields
  • Sorting - Click column headers to sort
  • Pagination - Navigate through large datasets
  • Bulk Actions - Select multiple rows for batch operations

URL State

Table state is preserved in the URL:

  • Filters, search terms, and pagination are bookmarkable
  • Share filtered views with team members
  • Browser back/forward works with table state

Modals and Dialogs

Actions often open in modals:

  • Create modals for new items
  • Edit modals for modifications
  • Detail modals for viewing information
  • Confirmation dialogs for destructive actions
  • Press Escape to close
  • Click outside to close (most modals)
  • Use Tab to navigate form fields

Breadcrumbs appear at the top of pages showing your location:

Home > Compliance > Frameworks > SOC 2 Type II

Click any breadcrumb to navigate back.

Responsive Design

Bastion adapts to different screen sizes:

  • Desktop - Full sidebar with labels
  • Tablet - Collapsed sidebar with icons
  • Mobile - Bottom navigation (limited features)

Some advanced features are only available on desktop. For the best experience, use Bastion on a desktop browser.
