Overview

The sidebar is your workspace navigator. It lists all your tables, lets you switch between them, and provides controls for creating new research.

Opening and closing the sidebar

The sidebar is open by default. You can toggle it to give your table more screen space:
  • Click the sidebar toggle button, or press Cmd + . (Mac) / Ctrl + . (Windows)
  • When collapsed, the main content area expands to fill the available space

Managing tables

The sidebar displays all your tables in a list. Each entry shows the table name you assigned when you created it.

Switching between tables

Click any table in the sidebar to switch to it. Your current table’s data is preserved.
Switching is blocked while a research is in progress. Wait for the current research to complete before navigating to another table.

Creating a new table

Click the add button in the sidebar to create a new table. This is equivalent to using the keyboard shortcut:
  • Mac: Cmd + ;
  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + ;
When you create a new table, Blazar switches to it automatically and presents a blank workspace ready for your query.

Active table indicator

The currently active table is visually highlighted in the sidebar, so you always know which table you’re working with.

Keyboard shortcuts

All shortcuts use Cmd on Mac and Ctrl on Windows/Linux.
