Get an overview and learn how to navigate the service editor.
Interface breakdown

Breaking it down, we can identify three main elements which will be your helping items in navigating, orienting, and defining your service.
Topbar
Here you will find the main navigation tabs, revisions, settings, and quick access to other items related to the service.
Overview
Here, as your service grows, you will see a hierarchical representation of your service. Very similar to what most IDEs have but in this case with the elements of a service.
The list can be filtered or searched via the top inputs.
The structure will grow in size as your service develops as well.
Main content
The center of your work. Here is where your documentation will take place and be modeled. In time, your documentation will grow significantly in size and complexity, so for that, the editor allows for multiple filtering options and viewing modes.
Predefined views
On a high level, the content will show all its elements in your documentation. Further from that, you can browse into specific views, which contain the following elements
Depending on which view you are on, different elements will appear. As such various filters for those items' completion or lockable state will be shown.
For the most relevant statuses within a revision, the interface shows a badge indicating the number of items that match that filter ( Draft & opened and Edited & Unlocked).
For a full explanation of the Completion cycle and the Locking cycles, read more here.
