Finding your way around

How to use the Aigio sidebars to open pages and tools, switch between workspaces, reach your account and jump to a date.

The sidebar on the left of every workspace page takes you to each part of Aigio. Use it to switch workspaces, open pages and tools, and reach your account. On wide screens, a second sidebar on the right shows a small calendar.

At a glance

  • Open a page: Left sidebar > Click the page name
  • Open a tool or list: Left sidebar > Click the group > Click the item > Back arrow to return
  • Switch workspace: Workspace name at the top > Click another workspace
  • Your account: Your name at the bottom > Account / Log out
  • Jump to a date: Small calendar on the right > Click a day > Calendar opens on that day

Open a page

  1. Click a page name under Menu or Favourites, for example Calendar.
  2. The page opens. Its name is highlighted in the sidebar.

Open a group's list

Items with an arrow (>) on the right open a list instead of a page.

  1. Click the item, for example Tools.
  2. The sidebar now shows that list, with the group name and a back arrow at the top.
  3. Click an item in the list to open it.
  4. To go back to the main menu, click the back arrow next to the group name.

Tools contains: Visual Design Brief, Competitor Analysis, Brand Copy Chief, Content Calendar, Web Audit, Web Content Generator and Campaign Planner.

Switch to another workspace

  1. Click the workspace name at the top of the sidebar.
  2. Under Workspaces, click the workspace you want.

From the same list you can also:

  • Click the pencil next to a workspace to edit it.
  • Click All workspaces to see the full list.
  • Click Create workspace to start a new one.

Open your account menu

  1. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar.
  2. Choose one of the options:
    • Account: change your name or password in Account settings.
    • Log out: sign out of Aigio.

See Account settings for the details.

Make the sidebar smaller

  1. Click the sidebar button in the page header, or press Ctrl+B (Cmd+B on Mac).
  2. The sidebar shrinks to icons only. Point at an icon to see its name.
  3. Do the same again to open the sidebar fully.

On a phone, the sidebar opens from the side and closes when you pick a page.

What is in the right sidebar

The right sidebar shows only on wide screens, such as a large laptop or a desktop. On smaller screens, use Calendar in the left sidebar instead.

It holds the small calendar, which shows one month at a time. Today has a grey circle. Days that have scheduled posts are shown in blue.

Use the small calendar

  1. To see how many posts a day has, point at a blue day. A note appears, for example "1 scheduled post".
  2. To see another month, click the arrows next to the month name, or choose a month and year from the two lists.
  3. Click a day. The Calendar page opens in Day view on that date and scrolls to the first post. The day stays filled in blue in the small calendar.

The small calendar updates straight away. When you add or delete a post, its day turns blue or goes back to normal.

Tips

  • The highlighted item in the sidebar shows where you are.
  • If a group under Profiling & Engineering is greyed out, it has no modules yet.
  • Use the small calendar on the right to jump straight to a day. Blue days have posts.
